I canโ€™t stand the fact that Poland is doing Literally What they wanted - spending a lot of money on defence. Yet, they bark at them.

It's weird because Starlink hasn't been around that long that we should have become reliant on it yet.

But what SpaceX does is so cool, and for the greater good of the humanity!

While I get the sentiment, another solution would put even more junk into low orbit, and cause even more problems for radio telescopes. There was already major concern about this with Starlink.

The questions are, what are the use cases, and can they be served by alternative technologies? When you answer that, then you can look into seeing if the extra latency to GEO is acceptable, or if terrestrial systems can do the job.

Eventually, I could see satellites becoming modules that attach to a frame that handles station keeping and such. That would keep LEO debris down. Would probably need Starship-level heavy lift to make that work, though, and nobody else has a rocket on that level except the chronically overbudget/overschedule SLS.

Then how is it possible that some of the internet carriers offer satellite internet without starlink?

Was just discussing Eutelsat @ !stocks_eu@lemmy.world which has a big potentional to fill the Starlink gaps but also as a great investing opportunity!
