A new space telescope will not be subject to Starlink interference. SpaceX will be happy to launch it for you at very competitive prices.

- dylan604 6y agoSo that's the real purpose of Starlink, eh?
- mschuster91 6y agoThe real purpose is to offer planetary-wide 1 Gbit/s Internet access. Assuming SpaceX can keep up with the demand, this is definitely going to kill Iridium and probably all ISPs in rural areas where people these days are happy to have ISDN service (and I wish I were joking here). Also, given that a SpaceX sat dish is supposed to be the size of a pizza box which means incredibly hard to spot, it will open truly free (it will still be under the control/influence of the US government, though) Internet access worldwide... this is going to have a massive impact on China, North Korea and other countries where Internet freedom is severely restricted.
