Granted “we” are billionaires. Not only you didn’t get the point, but you still hold on to your delusions: > life for our kin will only be better. Right? In this subscription economy? Where you have just limited time to watch the movie you loved? You can’t afford to rent the house you loved let alone buy it? (previous generations could afford) the list goes on and on. Maybe stop spreading lies and see things more obj…

I have started to see what I think are star link satellites at night on walks with my kids. It actually makes me sad to see that on person owns the night sky and is changing the literal stars my kids will grow up with. It feels different when it’s the government that theoretically represents people but when it’s one person that feels truly depressing.
Unfortunately you need a government that cares for the whole; in the USA oligarchs rule, so the general public are treated as paying slaves.

For less starving people? For less child abuse? For less climate change?
I look up at the night sky and i want to see stars and the endlessness of the universe and don't want to be reminded that Elon Musk will poisen our atmosphere.

buddy our ancestors didn’t even have light at night nor heat/ac. life for our kin will only be better. we will have space stations where you can visit and see all the stars you want. there will be space tourism and that will be pretty cool. that’s what i wanted as a kid and its cool to see it play out irl. edit: dang didn't expect so many negative people

We live in a remote area with no surrounding lights, perfect for star watching. It disgusts me that now, at all times, I can see strings of man made objects polluting the skies.
If you're seeing "strings" those are recently launched satellites. Operational satellites are below visual magnitude.

> But there are a few places that will need Starlink, like planes, cruise ships, and islands. I'm just not sure if that will justify that $1T valuation. There's also drones and front-line trenches, but your point still stands.
And for that reason the EU, India, China and Russia will build their own Starlink alternatives. To offset costs they'll then provide it for civilian use, competing with Starlink in the above areas.
They just launch those sats, and straight up serve Internet illegally. Those are the bonkers parts.

This is a very wasteful way of getting communications to somewhat compensate the lack of competition in US telco market.
It has nothing to do with competition. You could have as many competitors as possible and no one is going to put a cell tower up in a remote location.
