Okay. So. I’ve been relatively reticent to provide an #introduction because I spent a lot of time on Zuckhole, then it started to suck, then on BirdApp, now it also sucks, so I’m kinda exhausted by the whole idea of being like HEEEEEEY LOOOGGAMEEEEEE

I’m in my 40s. I do #3dprints sometimes (not very well, though.) I like #StarTrek and #StarWars and #Transformers. In order to bring a paycheck in, I learned #systemsengineering and #rf and #SATCOM

I also dabble in #shitposting occasionally

Musk hat mit seinem „Starlink“ für die Ukraine ja erheblich herumgeeiert. Ein eigenes europäisches #Satcom-System könnte hier in der Tat mehr Unabhängigkeit schaffen. Nur: wird es dann nicht irgendwann im #Orbit seeehr voll? Die tatsächlich sinnvoll nutzbaren Flugbahnen sind ja auch nicht unendlich vorhanden!

#introduction

I'm a spacecraft #engineer for a media broadcast company helping to maintain their satellite fleet. I've worked in #SatelliteCommunications for over 20 years. I'm also working on completing a degree in #astronomy and #planetary #science. I love #coffee, #horror, and #scifi! I'm an #atheist, #scubadiver, veteran #paratrooper, #GenX, and an American. I love #punk, #rock, and #blues music. I played the #bagpipes many years ago. I'm not to shabby on the #BluesHarp.
