They do not need to be part of StarLink.
The more satellites are launched the more money SpaceX gets to develop starship, starship reduces the cost of launching satellites and increases the maximum volume of the satellite, with cheaper launches and cheaper mirrors that do not need complex folding launching space telescope becomes cheaper than building a telescope on the earth, which means that new telescopes will be built for space.
- Tomte 7y agoThe same line of reasoning works for selling weapons to conflict parties.
- chr1 7y agoHow does it work? By building rockets spacex learns how to build better rockets, by selling weapons it would only learn how to build weapons. If you mean someone could start another company selling weapons and redirect all profits to SpaceX, that could work, but why would anyone do that if there is a better way of selling network connection?
