Americans are celebrating because their shitty space program no longer to be humiliated while paying at least 400% markup ($80m per seat, was $20m in 2007) to Russia to fly a cold war era Soyuz.
Starlink is another dumb idea because virtually everywhere that is profitable to deploy high speed internet already has it. Low earth orbit means that you need an obscene investment to have consistent coverage, except we live on a planet with extreme wealth inequality so starlink will be unaffordable for the vast majority of the world.
SpaceX and starlink are shit mate.
