Could SpaceX make a Starlink that revolves around the moon and could transmit imagery back to Earth?

  What you are describing is a satellite.

    ...and there have been a few satellites in lunar orbit, and even a private/commercial orbiter (capstone) recently https://www.advancedspace.com/missions/capstone/ https://www.advancedspace.com/missions/capstone/

    Well, then there’s the beaming back to Earth. Maybe that’s easy…I wasn’t sure. Thx for the snark, tho.

      No I get it. The words we use to describe things change over time with what we are exposed to. Starlink made satellites sexy again.
