Let them eat starlink!
Let them eat starlink!
You're viewing part of a thread.
You don't know what you're talking about, the satellites do "reasonably" boost themselves, they have propulsion on board.
After 5 years yes they trash them, but that nots not cost prohibitive for SpaceX. Starlink is brining in a significant amount of money, and it doesn't cost SpaceX all that much to launch a new batch to replace the old. You all seem to forget they are the cheapest and most impressive launch company to date.
What you and nobody else seems to understand is that every year SpaceX is launching more and more rockets and they will only continue to increase their launch cadence. In the next one or two years, they will start using Starship for Starlink launches, and that will significantly increase the amount of bandwidth they can add to the network per lanch.
I'm sure I'll get hate because I'm defending an elon company but everyone here is plain wrong and just making shit up.
☝️ spitting facts. people love to hate, and complain about the "other side" being delusional. turns out, we ALL can be a little delusional.
Yep. Spitting facts like degenerative AI.
Hallucinated facts.
If you could actually dispute it without insulting the author then I would consider your input. But you can't, because the facts are correct.
I already outlined exactly why Starlink is not a viable business, but go ahead and pretend I didn't if that's what makes you get hard, Sweetums.
I don't see anywhere where you did actually. Even tried to find another comment on your profile. Would you mind linking that for me?
Thanks
Never mind. Found it: https://ttrpg.network/post/19127696/14306572
Weird that this isn't showing in my profile.
Huh. Weird. It looks like two weeks' worth of comments (in a large number of groups) have vanished from my profile without being in the modlogs either.
I'm getting ready for work at the moment, so I'll dig into what happened when I hit work. The short version is that the only viable customer base is rural, and rural economics just can't support the prices that Starlink needs to operate at.
I'll point you to the numbers when I find them, or if I can't find them I'll recreate them.
