With SpaceX continuing to launch satellites, and Amazon and the Chinese government talking about creating their own versions, at what point does near-Earth orbit become too congested to permit space travel?
Never... space is really really big. So imagine a washing machine dropped every 50 miles in every direction, no big problem. Go 200 miles up into space and the globe is colosally larger. Satelites carefully stay at their agreed altitude. So layers, huge globe, its just an enormous amount of space to work in.
@@setituptoblowitup dirt cheap access to space needed (Starship) then a chomper version of starship that goes and gobbles up lots of satellites. Tended it can probably manage some really big stuff too. Maybe there's a business in there, maybe NASA will pay but either way it is key to future space and SpaceX and team do get that. So I think we cross fingers against Mr.Kessler until we get that dirt cheap access the desire to fix it is there. Also assuming Russia doesn't get a bit ASAT..ish. Which holy heck is a biiig risk.
We’ve had phones for a long time as well. But today’s phones are not the same as the original phones. Same with satellite internet service. Both of these fields have had a revolution of sorts.
I think your constant negative opinion of EM doesn't do him justice to hiw much he has changed our world. Despots and authoritarian goverments fear starlink because of the ability to get global information. Add X to the equation and you have the most powerful combination of global access (starlink) and marketplace (X) i think this is a great thing for global peace.
The guy's a crook. Every success he's ever had has been by piggy backing on someone else's hard work. He got lucky once and ever since he's just used his wealth to buy success. He lies through his teeth endlessly about the details of his products, the finances of his companies and his own abilities. He is resolutely pro-inequality and anti-worker. Basically this is the last guy in the world we should be praising.
The nameless female host clearly has an agenda.But Musk is the future, whilst this woman is clearly going to be consigned to the woke dustbin of history.
I think a lot of credit was given to Musk for the new innovations. But at the same time we all have to recognize that the guy is extremely unpredictable. He can have a genius level thinking one minute and then can also turn into a mess the next. The unpredictability is what causes concern for people who have to work with it.
@@mubashir3 Yes, he can be unpredictable, but the guy has a conscience and is motivated to do what's good for civilization. That's been an important driver for all of his business ventures. If you think he's making a wrong decision, all you have to do is appeal to his conscience. Show him why it's a mistake. If you can provide the evidence, almost certainly he will adjust his actions to reflect it. How many CEOs provide their company's service free to countries suffering from foreign invasion. The US government should have been reimbursing SpaceX from early on. Because his political thinking doesn't always coincide with the left-leaning establishment, he's now deemed an unpredictable risk by that establishment. As someone who has voted Democrat and been an admirer of the NY Times for most of my adult life, I'm so disappointed in the partisan direction the newspaper has gone in recent years.
@@tomcarroll4785is he providing your kool aid free of charge? Sure sounds like it. Learn to think critically instead of accepting Musk's self-propaganda without question. Of course he wants everyone to think he cares about humanity. That's called PR. Meanwhile if you look at the actual solid evidence of his business practices, you'll discover the truth is the absolute opposite. Musk is a bog standard snake oil salesman, exploitative boss and compulsive liar. You're free to ignore everything I've just said but eventually the truth will become too obvious to ignore.
@@mubashir3 He is a genius and does things others are too afraid to even try. But he is said to be on the autism spectrum, so if you understand that it will help you understand him. It's all the more remarkable that he is by far the most accessible CEO in the world. Others have handlers at their side, he just sits down and does unscripted interviews. I was in the media for 30 years and never met a SciTech CEO even remotely like him. But all his critics expect and demand God-like perfection in the public domain. How ridiculous.
Starlink and SpaceX are not a result Musk's 'genius', that belongs to the engineers that work for him. He is a genius at marketing and hype. How about his failed ventures, the Boring company for example? Musk fanboy's are sad and deluded.
Do you have an example of her showing bias? Seems like she's just asking questions. She does have a throwaway comment at the very end, but at the same time it's a fair comment because it is supported by the information presented.

A public good is something that government provides and not the private sector?
Usually, yes, because the motive is not for profit.
I don't think Iran matters, but China does as Tesla manufactures EVs there and China is a big consumer market for Tesla EV sales.
New? We've had satellite internet since 2008

This isn't low latency ubiquitous coverag. Starling is. This isn't your daddy's satellite Internet.

Of course NY Times take on this is negative toward Elon. Starlink would not even exist but for Elon. Embarrassing tone.
