SpaceX’s plan to blanket the Earth with satellites
Starlink is SpaceX’s attempt to provide internet access to the world by deploying more than 10,000 satellites. We explain what to expect from Starlink’s early internet services, and what the massive increase in number of satellites might mean for the future of stargazing and space traffic.

Satellites Internet service is STILL garbage after all these YEARS. I had it several years ago and lost money due to lag-time and bad weather while trading stocks. One of My friends who lives in a rural area is still having issues.

@Unknow Wolf 🐺 🐺 – Hughesnet & InterTech garbage. Then there’s the CON-tracts, I broke them both and don’t care about any penalties.
The reason for putting people in CONtracts is because they know their systems is garbage. Landline-Cable broadband Internet is all I will stay with until the wheels fall off.

Any thinking extraterrestrial would conclude that our planet had solved issues like world hunger, peace, health crises and so on… Before we bothered covering it with a blanket of excruciatingly expensive disposable Internet routers so more $$$ can be made by the already insanely rich who put it there.

November 19, 2020 at 1:03 am
@My Daily Vitamins TH&C The reason why some Rural Communities consider it a bit expensive is due to the job outage from COVID and how much of the farmland dwellers have difficulty making money.

@My Daily Vitamins TH&C If you’re at a place where you can easily dump 600 bucks plus the 100 dollar monthly fee without blinking, consider yourself to be a in a good spot in life unlike those where their entire monthly salary still can’t cover the 99$ costs. Damn right I’m serious.

It’s cool but… it also poses a target and a hazard in space/space observation. Did any of us little earthlings who also share this planet get a choice about whether we want our world surrounded by a web of flying little reflective, reactive routers?? Shouldn’t there be some ‘government of all the countries’ kind of conversation about this before it launches?? Can rich people just do any thing they want???
Colonizing Mars is a huge mistake.
Mars is where we lose our humanity. I have seen it in dreams.
I saw 9/11 2 weeks before it happened. I dreamed the Seahawks won by a huge margin 6 months before the Super Bowl. I dreamed where my best friend’s body would be found after he went missing.
And I’m telling you
Mars is bad for us.
Also the addition of augmentation for humans as a response to Mars and survival there… leading to social disparity and loss of connectedness with other humans.
Very, very bad.

Dovydas
November 19, 2020 at 12:50 am
Consider the millions of people unable to connect to the rest of the world. Consider also that these satellites won’t literally “blanket” the Earth and you will still be able to make observations. You know, when you FEEL that you are 100% sure about something, you should be suspicious of your own self. Never assume that you knew something 100% because it will make you crazy. Be more realistic. Listen, I sometimes smoke some weed or drink some coffee and start thinking of extremely grandiose ideas too, just like you. I start predicting and reaching amazing conclusions too BUT it’s important to tell yourself, “hey I could be completely wrong here.” Put a probability percentage on your ideas and try to be reasonable. Don’t say things like, “I saw 9/11 two weeks before it happened.” You could say, “I had a hunch or a 10% probability that something bad was going to happen BUT it could just have been incidental and nothing to actually do with the event itself.” Again, if you want to be a better, more rounded person, be reasonable and not 100% sure of yourself.

1: Tesla has forced every major car company to produce electric cars by proving it to be feasible. The Model S was by all accounts the first truly large scale EV that was stylish, fast, practical and reliable.
2: Space X is not dumb. They’ve fitted every Starlink unit with xenon manouvering thrusters that allow them to avoid collisions and de-orbit at the end of their useful lifespan to prevent space debris.

So far all of that has happened.

@Jonathan Turner This is not for underdeveloped countries. You’re missing the target audience again. Starlink is aimed at places, especially far inland where fiber is just not feasible to have. Eventually when the constellation is complete and internet speeds soar the target audience will broaden.

Which won’t work in cloudy days, etc, etc?
