Common Sense Skeptic critiques the technical and economic viability of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet constellation.
Yet another Elon Musk project that doesn't live up to the promises - and this one might be the worst one yet! 8/10/22 UPDATE: StarLink failed to meet the basic requirements for the $855million FCC grant they were counting on.Why it's here

On “Starlink satellites hindering detection of near-Earth asteroids, study finds”
Few days ago I watched 'Debunking Starlink' video 0 (posted by @qsdf38100 in another thread 1 on Starlink) and it got me thinking. I am just a lay person, but, after watching it, am not so sure if Starlink is such a good idea. 0 link to this video 1 link

On “Ask HN: Does SpaceX have a chance at making life multiplanetary?”
> If he lies He lies; that is very core to my point and it isn't an if. Just fact check him. He lies. I'll save you some time: Here is a link to an article he screenshots: link Here is the time where he shows the screenshot: link to this video Here is a sample from the debunking article about him which I linked in my first post: > 7:16 - CSS claims that the reported aspirational costs for the satellites is $250,000 each, citing this article. > A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE ON THIS SECTION OF THE VIDEO! > CSS screenshot the headline for this article, but removed “and Falcon 9 Costs Less than $30 Million”. Why? Because they just finished the section where they claimed Falcon 9 refurbished launches cost SpaceX…

On “Starlink lost 40 satellites to a geomagnetic storm”
I recently started researching into Starlink as my next (cheap) internet solution and stumbled upon these 2 videos below. The worst part for me is that once this becomes more popular the bandwidth will die down to crumble. I don't buy they will be able to upkeep with bandwidth sharing it from satellite to satellite using a.. laser beam (is that even possible to sync 2 satellites and send signal thru laser beam that has radius of 10 nm at distance of 1,000 km from one object to another traveling at 20,000km/s ?) link link to this video

On “Starlink for RVs”
…after seeing that (super crappy!) satelite internet providers getting the same shit done with 3 satelites.... you're looking at the intersection of people needing access to fast internet who can't somehow take advantage of existing infra, _and_ who won't eventually get covered by ground infra (and I guess don't have trees around their house). 0: link to this video…
