On brand, but I guess SpaceX has no path to profitability (go figure), so Starlink has to launch thousands of microsatellites every year cause their orbit is so low that they burn up like right away

I didn't really have high expectations for them of course but they are way below the bar of what even Tesla brings to the table.

    The main practical application I've seen for starlink is to use it to operate cruise missiles/drones in remote parts of the world

      Surely they could do that with satellites that don't immediately burn up?

      I only support climate pledge friendly cruise missiles
