Rising Houston Artist … Read Full Bio ↴From http://www.myspace.com/trendsettarecords
Rising Houston Artist A3 aka "The Tanka" is storming the music scene with his aggressive yet hypnotizing smooth lyrics that would no doubt reflect the struggles of a young poet surviving the trials and tribulations of poverty with finesse. He grew up on the Southside of Houston, TX in "the Dead End" where he was exposed to violence, drugs and the "hustle", as A3 calls it whatever it takes to make ends meet. Through the lost of loved ones and the hardships of coming from a low-income family, he overcame negative surroundings. After being disappointed and mislead by different record labels, A3 found a home with Wreck shop Records CEO D-reck Dixon. Also being the CEO of his own Label Trendsetta Records, and decided to promote himself by selling his music to stores as well as the streets all over the southern region. A3 has sold over 100,000 independent underground albums and has been featured on various mixtapes and DVD documentaries blazing the music scene doing features with such artist as Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, Paul Wall, Mike Jones, Bun B, Trae, Z-Ro, Big Moe, Big Pokey, Rob G., King Mello(of Ice Age) and Fat Pat. also appearing on Wreckshop compilation albums "Reloaded" and "Doing It Far Texas." Once again A3 has shown versatility proving he's not just a rapper by receiving a starring role in muti-Platinum recording artist Mike Jones motion picture entitled "The American Dream" where A3 displayed his Oscar worthy acting skills. Movie Due out in July 07 On the new release of the late great 2pac Album titled "Pac's Life" A3 sticks out like a sore thumb displaying his southern swagger with a universal twist on track5 called " Whats Next". A3 is also a songwriter and music composer for Rap artist and producers. Vision is everything, consistency rises above all and determination seals prosperity, says A3. 10 long years of blood, sweat, and hard work will not go unrewarded. The 24 year old Houston phenom is in a position to receive whets due. It is clear that with god first and his remarkable work ethic, along with a humble soul A3 is truly "What's Next"........... BE APART OF THE MOVEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A-3 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Swinging on the web and touching everything
I haven't left my room for a long, long time
Don't need food, just an open modem line
Taking off and flying high
(High, high, high)
Talking to someone from the other side
Can't say much, but at least it's fun to try
(Mind, mind, mind)
Sailing through the tele line
(Line, line, line)
I change my name at least five times a week
Because I never know just who I'll meet
I sure hope we never meet in real life
All these friends in my cyber high
(High, high, high)
Sailing through the tele line
(Line, line, line)
Crashing in from a satellite
(Lite, lite, lite)
Here I come, I'm coming online
I'm feeling high, high, high
(High, high, high)
Sailing through the tele line
(Line, line, line)
Screaming down from a satellite
(Lite, lite, lite)
To a million screens in cyber high
(High, high, high)
The lyrics of A-3's song "Satellite" convey the experience of someone who has become consumed by the digital world and virtual interactions. The opening lines describe the singer's disengagement from the physical world, spending excessive amounts of time online, neglecting basic needs like food, and becoming entranced by the vastness of the internet. The use of the phrase "swinging on the web" implies a sense of free-floating and aimless navigation, touching everything but not really engaging deeply with anything.
The second paragraph emphasizes the limited communication and connection that the singer finds in the digital realm. They acknowledge that they cannot say much or have meaningful conversations, but at least attempting to do so is enjoyable. The reference to a "tiny mind" suggests that, despite the vastness of information and possibilities on the internet, the singer's thoughts and perspectives may be quite narrow. They are sailing through the telecommunication lines, suggesting a detachment from reality and a reliance on the digital landscape.
In the third paragraph, the lyrics reveal a sense of anonymity and fluid identity that comes with online interactions. The singer admits to frequently changing their name, indicating a desire for exploration and variety in their virtual encounters. However, there is also a note of caution and reluctance expressed in the hope of never meeting these online friends in real life, hinting at a potential disconnect between the online persona and interpersonal relationships.
The final paragraph brings a more dramatic tone, using the metaphor of crashing in from a satellite. The singer presents themselves as arriving online, feeling a sense of exhilaration and euphoria from the virtual experience. The repetition of "high" and "lite" suggests a heightened emotional state, perhaps reflecting the rush that comes from being immersed in the digital world. The final line "to a million screens in cyber high" encapsulates the all-encompassing nature of the online realm, with countless individuals seeking similar connections and experiences, all bound by their screens. Overall, the lyrics of "Satellite" convey the allure, excitement, and potential detachment of living through the digital lens.

@Jay MacDonald You know what I'll just cut and paste the direct quotes to show you are wrong.
1) Objects in orbit don't just take 3-5 yrs to deorbit.
“If we look at our statistics, we have about 300 objects per year returning to Earth, burning up in the atmosphere,” said Francesca Letizia, a space debris engineer at ESA, in a podcast on space debris. “Below 500 km, the effect of the atmosphere, the spacecraft can reenter within 25 years. At 800 km above Earth, it will take about 100-150 years to fall back to Earth.”
Letizia said the biggest risk for old satellites that aren’t currently operating is the risk they pose for exploding and creating more fragments, or for colliding with other satellites and either causing damage or destruction and also creating additional objects in Earth orbit. This means that as we launch satellites to space we must consider how they will be removed at the end of their lives, or else the area around Earth will be filled with old, defunct spacecraft at risk of collision, explosion, and the near-certain creation of vast amounts of space debris.

Note: Space X's satellites plan to orbit in the 400-500km range. However these things are estimates from models and not exact descriptions because there are very few experiments to verify exactly how every dimension and size of space junk actually deorbits (These experiments are too expensive to do). Of the actual over 40k amount of tracked large debris out there only about 300 deorbit per yr at that rate the sky will empty in about over 130 yrs if we don't add anything to it.
2) There are huge amount of junks in orbit at all heights and they are building up to be a huge problem.
To break the numbers down, according to ESOC, about 5250 launches have taken place since the beginning of the space age, which officially kicked off on October 4th, 1957, with the launch of the the Soviet Sputnik 1 satellite. Of the many missions that have been launched since then, some 23,000 are still in orbit, while only 1200 are still operational.
According to various statistical models, there is an estimated 166 million objects in orbit that range in size from 1 mm to 1 cm in diameter. There is also another 750,000 objects that range from being 1cm to 10 cm in diameter, and about 29,000 objects that exceed 10 cm in diameter. The ESA and other space agencies around the world are responsible for tracking about 42,000 of the larger ones.
All told, the total mass of all the objects orbiting the Earth is estimated at 7500 metric tons (~8267 US tons). And between all this debris, a little over 290 break-ups, explosions and collisions events have taken place, resulting in the fragmentation of objects and the creation of many smaller pieces of debris. Each and every one of these is considered a serious threat due to the relative orbital velocities they have.
Essentially, orbital debris can reach speeds of up to 56,000 km/h due to the Earth’s rotation. At this speed, even a centimeter-sized piece of debris can seriously damage or disable an operational spacecraft. Meanwhile, a collision with an object that is larger than 10 cm will lead to catastrophic break-ups, releasing more hazardous debris clouds that can cause further catastrophic collisions – a phenomena known as “Kessler Syndrome”.
Left unchecked, it is acknowledged that the problem will become exponentially worse. Little wonder then why the ESA and other space agencies are talking about implementing “space debris mitigation measures“. Such measures, which include reducing mass in high-density regions and designing craft with safe re-entry technologies, could curtail the growth rate of space debris populations.

Either you are outright lying or you have completely misunderstood the information given by NASA.

Made a comment about the image of the football stadium being doctored. Shadows are not consistent and seem to be drawn in some place (spectator-stands for example).
My comment is no longer there.....
Why?
Robert Walls
Nah, everyone skips right past all the stupid sponsor portions.
TerraDOOM
By the way, blurred text is recoverable, especially when you know the font and whatnot, so you should probably cut that part from your sponsored segment. General advice: always block sensitive text using solid colours, mosaic doesn't work

@Fahmi Hardian And make sure it's really solid, not just 99.9% opacity.
Fahmi Hardian
Unless the blur pixel size is over 50px in a 1080p video... but yea, the safest method is covering them with solid stuff

@Bill Kong it's just best when there's no information left in the video/image

depends on kernel width and font size. The way he did it is fairly hard.

Took me until the 2:50 mark to realise rotating didn’t mean spinning the whole satellite 🤣 oscillating is the word I would have used
