Except the carbon footprint of Starlink is estimated to be 30x greater than terrestrial alternatives.
More than half of all satellites in space are already Starlink at around 5,000, with 12,000 planned in the near future and up to 42,000 as a later expansion.
I’d love to be able to get a usable terrestrial alternative at my place. Wonky 4G ain’t it. 5G is years away, if it ever gets here. Fibre? Perish the thought.
Providing global Internet is worth it. That said, I’d much rather see it done in a non profit way, and definitely not under the muskrat’s control.

It’s just not sustainable.

They lost thousands of them and they actually don’t know why.

But hold on, isn’t it about providing global internet in way X versus way Y? So it’s more about the specific way, which is fucking everything up.
