SpaceX can't go bankrupt... You won't let us go bankrupt... It would be a shame if all those satellites lost their ability to be maintained. This is how he becomes too big to fail.

@techtakes Bear in mind SpaceX's near monopoly is transient: Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin is now flying and re-using New Glenn and ramping up launch cadence aggressively. Give it 5 years and unless Starship works 100% to plan, SpaceX will be eroding like Tesla today. (And this ignores the multiple Chinese reusable launcher startups with government backing.)

I mean, what's the worst that could happen? They'd just burn up in the atmosphere. More than likely the government would just take possession of the system if they had a critical dependency on them.

Kessler syndrome, and historically starlink’s satellites don’t always burn up in the atmosphere as they should

For the millionth time, if every satellite in the starlink constellation were to fail today, they would be gone in about five years at the high end. They are low enough in the atmosphere that they have to fire station-keeping rockets to maintain orbit. If they collide, the small pieces deorbit even faster due to drag.

From this article:

At around 400 kilometers and into the 500-km realm — home to ISS and the SpaceX Starlink satellites among others — atmospheric drag plays a major role. Dead satellites and debris usually slow and burn up in the atmosphere in just a few years. This natural cleansing process accelerates when the sun becomes more active and solar coronal mass ejections strike Earth and cause the atmosphere to swell.

“In those altitudes, we can probably do a lot and we will be forgiven,” Linares says.

Wait, does the Starlink internet suck as well? I mean, it has to have high latency, that much I've assumed, but other than that?

@techtakes If you want high latency, nothing beats telnet from the UK to a server in California via a comsat in GEO back in the early 90s when the trans-Atlantic cable circuit was down. A three-phase TCP exchange has to crawl up to GEO, 35,000km above the equator, and back down *three times*, never mind the surface level routing.

Gave me a strong appreciation for Berkeley vi's designed-in ability to cope with slow modems.

@techtakes Having SpaceX take over X is going to backfire explosively real soon now: France isn't the only government investigating X for election meddling and peddling child pornography, and it could take down SpaceX's ability to do business in countries that would otherwise be buying launch capacity:

I mean Starship is a VERY questionable financial decision the way they are running it. The falcon program is another matter. It's actually remarkable how the two of them are almost diametrically opposed in how they are run.

Falcon 9 launches are reportedly sold for $60-80M (or $160-200M for Falcon Heavy). But an F9 launch in Starlink configuration is billed internally at just $12M, for the same payload as a Saturn 1B. Which is just insane (S1B cost $55M per flight in 1972, or $425M today).

My guess is municipal budgets. They likely have more police crusiers than they do fire trucks or ambulances. The police cruisers are also smaller than fire trucks so they may be able to navigate more intersections without needing a green light to clear some traffic.
