I agree, but those satellites shouldn't have been there to begin with in my opinion. But it's too late now.
- baq 4y agoGenie is out of the bottle. DOD has seen Starlink in a real hot war and they love it. The constellation has become a national security asset. If it disappears, Pentagon will pay for another one.
- runlaszlorun 4y agoIs there serious talk about launching one? They honestly should.
- panick21_ 4y agoThere are many. Lots of other large constellations being planned. Some from former GEO companies. Amazon. DoD is doing its own as well.
- panick21_ 4y agoWhy should the not be there? They are in an orbit that has essentially 0 practical chance at causing long term harm. They provide a service that is clearly very useful.
