Fraser Cain - Starlink and Startups - The Cold Star Project

Space news aggregator and educator Fraser Cain is on the Cold Star Project to discuss Elon Musk's Starlink and his experience with startups.  SHOW NOTES: First we cover the Starlink constellation:  -what is it (high speed worldwide ISP satellite network)  -compliance requirements -space junk / Kessler Syndrome problem - lowered planned altitude solution -astronomers not consulted - streaks of satellites crossing images blocking view (somewhat fixed)  -privacy & political considerations - it's a broadcast network - no intermediary / routing - all traffic will go at same speed.   Fraser co-founded 2 businesses in the 90s that went public and another that he made a lifestyle business:   -Absolute Software for a laptop theft recovery system  -Communicate.com web development for large companies  -Communicate owned early one word domain names  -discovered self-knowledge of where his genius range / fun point is in business  -found his "fun factor" is in educating and directly connecting with readers through Universe Today  -"20 years later still having a ball"  -features: minimal staff, built to last, strong purpose (not Exit for money, but "how do I make this more fun for me?")  -uses Pateron because he doesn't like paywalls  -how self-directed vs Patreon-directed? His readers want the "chefs special"  -If-Then Statements about Happiness that don't work out in reality (people end up sadly surprised), so pick something you love.  Get on Fraser's newsletter distribution list at https://www.universetoday.com/   Talk to Cold Star: https://coldstartech.com/bookcall
