In Space no one can hear you stream.

Sometimes these things do have audio. The body of the rocket will transmit sounds from the mechanism

I’m glad they shared that. I was disappointed when the webcast ended after insertion. I figured they would at least show deployment this time since they are new satellites.

Looks like they got rid of the tensioning rod.

It was a genius idea to dispense with individual injector mechanisms and just rely on natural motion from spinning them. You can pack in a lot more satellites that way.

Is this real speed, or sped up? The Earth appears to move quite a bit, but I think that's mostly camera swing.
Adeldor t1_jacwph1 wrote
Looks like the camera is on the tensioning rod, which in prior videos seems to move at roughly that rate.

Great, more space trash when this billionaire toddler gets bored with the idea and abandons it.

Their orbits are low enough, were Starlink to quit launching and every satellite malfunctioned (IOW couldn't be deliberately deorbited as they are normally), within a few years there'd be none left in orbit.
And I don't consider equipment providing low latency, high speed internet service everywhere on the planet trash.

Highspeed Internet for the whole World which only People in first World Countries can afford 🤣💀

Nonsense. Rural villages have a single connection, which they share through local wifi.

Oh sure, you mean in Countries where People are lucky if they earn more than 500.-? They for sure have 600.- for the Starter Kit and the 110.- per Month to waste even as a Community 💀

Can you suggest a better alternative for them, or provide one? One that works on mountains, in deserts, at the poles, in jungles, on oceans, in aircraft, etc.?

They don't charge the same prices everywhere, they will charge whatever each regional market will bear.
For example in Mexico it costs 1,100 pesos per month which is ~$60 USD.

If you want a maritime subscription (to use on a ship), that's like $5,000/mo

It’s space trash when the person doing it has the attention span of a golden retriever with ADHD.

So says the person with an internet connection about a company (not an individual) providing remote villages with service, emergency workers in the field, areas cut off by natural disaster, and others without connection.

Don’t get me wrong, the idea is good, the person behind it is a flighty teenage man with the attention span of a lobotomized goldfish

Regardless of one's opinion of Musk, Starlink is far more than just him, with many hard working engineers making it happen.

Till he decides to fire them for tweeting unflattering things about him.
Adeldor t1_jad145q wrote
In which case he'd sell the company, deorbit the satellites and close it down, or abandon it and the satellites would come down shortly by themselves. In any case, the upside far outweighs any downside.

I mean Musk aside shit talking your private companies boss or CEO publicly on social media is a good way to get yourself fired period. Doesn't matter where you work.
That is keeping a job 101.

You realize that Elon doesn't run SpaceX unchecked right? Shotwell runs the day to day operations and would never let Elon just shut down Starlink. Not to mention the military is very interested in it as well.

Who gives a flying fuck. Does that mean it doesn't work? No

Those deorbit rather quickly.
AdminsFuckedMeAgain t1_jad3j70 wrote
This is literally a display of them minimizing debris by making the tension rods part of the second stage. It will burn up with the second stage instead of just staying in orbit. Everything you see in this video will eventually come back down
