Elon Musk has some lofty goals for his high-speed satellite internet venture Starlink. He plans to launch 45,000 satellites into our skies. It’s for a good cause though. Musk plans to bring internet connection to all the populations that lack it. He also plans to improve internet connection speeds offering 1Gb/s download speed once his system is fully operational. For comparison, 100Mb/s is currently considered above average.
But it’s not all good news. Amongst other potential dangers, Musk’s satellites may exacerbate light pollution. Although these satellites don’t produce light, they’re situated lower in orbit – about 60 times lower than other internet satellites – they run the risk of filling the night sky with reflections.
Considering that they will be in very high numbers, this could impact conditions for all astronomers and even hamper our ability to detect hazardous asteroids. Starlink has therefore now been trialing new designs that result in less reflection, such as the “DarkSat” satellite with a non-reflective coating and the “VisorSat” satellite equipped with a special sunshade visor.
But that’s not all. If they are damaged, Musk’s satellites could contribute to the problem of space debris. Starlink has been working hard to address all these potential issues, noting that the satellites are all designed to deorbit naturally or burn up in Earth’s atmosphere. If it succeeds to do so, then the satellites may well be worth the risks.

https://youtube.com/shorts/Uf3g3NZvqG4?feature=share I caught the train last night..
so when a plane passes it has wifi or falls
half the planet doesn't have internet because they can't pay the cost. Starlink is even more expensive than everyone else… Elon Musk is not really launching starlink to give "internet for all"
I imagine that in a short time with cars that drive themselves, Tesla will start to put this technology in cars making it have internet on the roads as well as on planes.
i want fast internet and i don't want internet company's churching me so much foe a slow internet
amzon sattlite suck StarLink sattlite best
Good ideology from great technological man of the planet.
Rest area all areas world globl free signals and providers .
if use the bad elements. I think abolish all satellite and no connection business and other use…pls do not abuse what the new technology keep and safe…and help improvement what the new invented generation…
wow very nice and thanks much.very good help.I wish good in use internet online person who in use.but the other use for bad element… thanks
privacy no more…spying threats!
now..i cant reach internet while upstair..my home..
Yea Elon Musk launched billions of dollars of satellites to give us free internet, its more likely a weapon combined to the graphene antenna nanobot system that was inside the quackzine Jab people got scared into taking against all the laws of the Nuremberg Code. Those who took the Jab basically said, its ok to be a Nazi and we are gonna let you test things on our bodies. It was all war crimes and violated every Nuremberg Code, but since TV said it was safe…. Morons took it.
By the way, no matter HOW GREAT this all SOUNDS, it is PART of the GREAT RESET NEW WORLD ORDER ONE WORLD government BEAST SYSTEM. This WILL BE USED TO SPY and TRACK EVERYONE on the PLANET, NO MATTER WHERE THEY ARE. This will ALSO BE USED BY THE ANTICHRIST in 2030 to PUSH HIS MARK of the BEAST. CHINA'S SOCIAL SYSTEM TOTAL CONTROL COMING SOON WORLDWIDE.
surveillance grid. goodbye privacy.
🙋 anybody needs satellites traffic controller……..in space site court.🗽
💁👉In case of clash crash scrap segregater also complimentary 🤦.

The people that say satellites are so crowded and worry much should keep their calm.
Data is basic commodity some times more important than water therefore it should be free for all

A super dumbed down and low production value vodeo
5:15 – Fake News. Starlink satellites can detect debris/satellite and go around them.
The problem that birds have for mobile towers can be just as much a problem for this internet satellite as sir please think about this
Whoever had this intelligence out of his head thought that birds would have a problem
Not a Elon fan , wake up people it's a pipe dream…..
New World Order comes to mind.
greed greed greed. this is not developement.
humans do not own the earth. let birds, bees, and nature/god made life chain live and prosper. some bird species delained dangerously low due to mobile technology. stop cutting the branch where you sat on. stop burning your own home.
We were killing ourselves
Call the Kingsmam
Elon Musk😂😁
StarLink will NEVER provide fast internet connection to billions, at best to millions of people. Each satellite has about 20 Gbps capacity and with an oversubscription rate of 100 each satellite can service 20 000 customers at 100 Gbps. With 12 000 satellites this means that theoretically 240 million customers can be served. However, oceans make up about 70% of the earth, there are large land areas where very few people live and there are countries, like Russia and China, that for political reasons most likely will not allow domestic market access for StarLink. Taken this into account a realistic number would be about 25 million StarLink customers worldwide for 12 000 satellites.
Furthermore, StarLink will not be able to provide internet connection “everywhere” as the antenna must be mounted so you have a clear line of sight to the satellites. So, the antenna cannot be indoors, and the antenna’s line of sight cannot be interrupted by trees, tall buildings, mountains etc.
StarLink is therefore not something that is going to revolutionize the internet market or transform the world. Like satellite telephony before it is a niche-product that are only able to service a tiny proportion of the world’s population.
So much more space junk to be dealt with.
Wtf does the world economic forum care if everyone world wide has internet service, to the point that they would spend billions to make sure they do??? Just ponder on that for a while.
Due to the increasing risk of the kessler syndrome, the space race is just about over. When communication, weather, and GPS satellites get destroyed we will immediately be put back to the 1970s or earlier technology wise. The internet will for all intents be toast. I can hardly wait. I gre up in the 60s 70s and 80s and know the benefits of less connectivity. Even if we stopped putting anything in space today, it will still happen and make low earth orbit impassable for space ships for decades.
So much could go wrong.
why would underdeveloped areas need internet?
Screw stargazing! Making the world a true global village is more important than ever.
Bullshit! Musks in it for the money! Free? That's garbage! Just like the Starlink space garbage and debris! Musk's the kind of guy that dumps his garbage on others!

Social credit score for all.
Big shiny objects were always the best solution to distract everyone from the real problems our Planet is facing. Nuclear waste is also shaping our Planet and it will not dissappear just in 5 years.
And there is no such thing as a free lunch. You are going to pay in one way or other. Probably with your personal details which are so valuable nowadays.
its spelled Internet, with a capital I.
There should be a serious binding treaty to stop this kind of commercialization of space by private industry that too belonging to a single capitalistic and selfish nation like USA, This project would turn as another political tool of USA to project its power at the global stage just like how it is the USA Dollar to impose sanctions on the countries. So all the people should protest their concern and make this project executed and maintained under multilateral International bodies like the United Nations Space wing. And ban all other private companies from doing such activities
Not only is this dangerous for our environment, but also toxic to our health. This is yet another example of corporate greed over human health issues. Not only literring the earth, now literring the heavens. Hypocrites. Follow the money. The risks out way the purpose
yes , this is why our earth is Self Destructing itself. someone is watching ,when you have Sex , and its not the Wankers that put cameras in your house, ie plumbers electricians, etc.
I'm beyond words. Humanity makes me wanna die more than it inspires me to live..
