How Elon Musk's Starlink Launched a Satellite Space Race

The largest single constellation of satellites orbiting our planet is run by a mercurial individual who needs no introduction. But the speed and relative success of Elon Musk and SpaceX’s Starlink has raised concerns among government officials and encouraged deep-pocketed rivals, like Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos.

Stop repeating misinformation about the Ukraine Starlink incident. Musk didn't threaten to turn OFF starlink in Ukraine. He merely refused to turn it ON in Russian-occupied Crimea, and specifically for a naval drone attack in which starlink antennas had been mounted to the attacking vehicles. Musk thought this went way beyond SpaceX's role as a private company providing commercial communication service. SpaceX was not a government or a military. He said to Walter Isaacson "how am I in this war?" Since that time, the US defense department has contracted with SpaceX for Starlink services in Ukraine, so the company is now less directly exposed.

@@FatolaIsrael my current connection is pretty slow (25 MBits) and for some reason gets interrupted during hot weather. Therefore I switched to starlink for now which is faster and more reliable. However, they are currently building fiber connections in my region which will take roughly 1 more year until it finally works. Once that is the case, I’ll switch to fiber. It’ll be more expensive but also….i mean….fiber is the pinnacle of internet connections;)

Most active satellites in space right now are Starlink, almost 6,000, in just ~6 years, insane to think about. Falcon 9 is a workhorse, and reusable rockets is an innovation no one else has even reached yet so kudos to SpaceX for not just achieving it but then taking maximum advantage of that capability to launch Starlink, this is what makes America great.

I've been watching Lauren Grush's space news coverage for years and I really think she's better than this, better than Bloomberg. If you're reading these comments, just walk away, honestly, biased corporate legacy media is completely gone at this point. Just go it your own on yt or substack or something.

Please don't falsely state that amazon's project kuiper competes with Starlink. Blue Origin has yet to send a rocket in orbit, yet alone having the capability to construct an entire satellite constellation. While having been around longer than SpaceX. Yes they are contracting other non-reusable launch providers, but this can in no way compete with the pace of the rapidly partially reusable Falcon-9. And by the time Blue Origins New Glenn is fully online in 20....26? SpaceX will have their Starship rocket online, which can deliver even more starlinks than Falcon-9, while also being fully rapidly reusable, on top of the thousands of satellites already in orbit. Amazon can't compete, since there will be no more space left to occupy. Stop downplaying SpaceX's complete domination of blue origin, just because it is run by a controversial figure.
