I’m not misunderstanding. You are calling it a failed toy, when it works. It’s definitely being used by the Ukrainian military and was considered essential, that’s why it was in the news when Elon disconnected it for a day, and why America and other sources are paying for it in the Ukraine. They wouldn’t be doing that for a failed toy.

For almost the same price as setting up traditional internet at your house, you could do get Starlink and see for yourself. My buddy has it, and it works just fine.

Starlink has shown tangible benefits. The issue is that the satellites are interrupting deep space study. That should be the conversation, but some reason it just keeps coming back to Musk. It’s a waste of a conversation.

If he gets abducted by aliens today, then what? Starlink doesn’t just disappear. Neither do electric cars. These things will go on without him
