Have to choose between a few researches inconvenienced on earth, who are using ground based telescopes while there are super high quality telescopes in space already, which are much better for studying space vs a system that could provide high speed internet to billions of people in every corner of the world, especially in rural corners of developing world that otherwise never be able to build infrastructure to provide that kind of internet?

I will take the second option any day. I would take a satellite internet system that can connect hospitals and schools in rural Africa to the internet over of a bunch of astronomers who could use space based telescopes instead of ground based ones to further their studies.

This complaint is 2023 version of “we don’t want windmills because they are an eyesore”

This isn’t just about spacex. There are multiple companies working on satellite based internet and it could be a game changer for the developing world

That is happening. It is a massive operation and it cannot happen overnight.
