One of the advantages of LEO that wasn't mentioned is that there is some very rarefied air up there.

If there is a collision, the pieces will have to be avoided for only a few years while they get lower and lower and eventually de-orbit. In other words, LEO is self cleaning.
Man, all the infrastructure necessary for the fast and seamless transmission of memes is stunning. I'd like to thank these companies for investing in the dissemination of our generation's cultural landmark, the meme, to the most remote areas of our planet.
I saw one article that stated, since a low-earth orbit constellation would provide faster-than-fibre communications, the impact on world-wide stock-market trading, would be enormous. As for the astronomers, it looks increasingly like they will have to move towards a more space-based means of exploring the universe. The Hubble telescope showed the way and the up-coming James Webb telescope will enhance that capability. Even without any constellation-type systems in place, the number of satellites orbiting the earth would have continued to grow. As cities continue to expand, light-pollution is becoming an ever increasing problem for ground-based astronomers as well.
This fresh news are so important for me. As a teacher I need to know about James Webb Launch and on this searching I am getting a lot of relevant information which makes me really aware of what's happening around the world. Thank guys!
There are so many questions on the purpose of these satellites. - It's got to be cheaper to layout fiber-optic lines than putting satellites in orbit if it's the reason for them is just Internet connection. - Those remote areas everybody is talking about is the underdeveloped area, meaning they can't afford the satellite Internet service. - The maintenance cost for those satellites will be terribly high. This just doesn't make sense in terms of business model. What is the real purpose of launching these expensive satellites that they're not telling us? Hmmm...
Hey may be just in time to shield the earth from some major event like ultra solar radiation so lets plug all the holes until we are totally covered . . . in space junk . . . ah, sort of strangely reminds me of some kids movie a while back.
The Kessler syndrome where stuff in space starts a domino effect of crashing into other stuff in space is unlikely but not impossible. Already there are some plans to begin locating and capturing space junk. Also these satellites have those small chemical rockets and sensors to help them avoid collisions.
@@clavo3352 They have plans but there is no financial backing or any actual working theories on how to clean up this space debris. The I.S.S had a cracked window to the highly strong glass caused by a mere speck of paint. These satellites are in a low Earth orbit, have a very limited life span and any high Earth orbit debri being drawn back into the Earth's atmosphere will cross the path of the thousands of useless waste of material satellites that the evil Elon Musk is already building and launching.
Ok man what? Space telescopes are better than earth telescopes bc they don’t have to see thru the atmosphere. They can see further and clearer than any on earth. Fuq you talking about
@@ihl0700677525 Hubble is just one with a tiny FOV, you need a lot of earth based telescopes for doing all kinds of searches, which are critical for further exploration of space and safety of our planet.
guys, the constellation sats are so low that they will burn up in the atmosphere in months if their orbits are not regularly raised. so if the Kessler syndrome happens, we'll just wait 6 months for space to clear up and then continue. although, the blow to astronomy may be a bit problematic.

Materials engineer here and aerospace engineer dropout. Young and inexperienced but practiced and certified Space junk comments = uninformed people. The satellites were designed to be in low orbit with a 95% re-entry burn rate. This means upon re-entry approximately 95% of the satellite material will be burned or destroyed for each individual satellite, leaving low orbit clean. The other 5% is laser diodes and other harder components that require extreme burn resistance material wise. Any materials not burned in orbit have a maximum life time in low orbit for 2 years, however this material is extremely limited and rare to skip initial re-entry. Starlink satellites are $300,000 as of current date. Not 1 million.
You've been one of my more trusted sources of info. With an Aerospace Eng degree it was concerning to see so many clear mistakes. Do you make this many mistakes in your other videos where it's more difficult for me to catch them?
Nah it's not a conspiracy theories but when the radiation from the satelite hit trees a lot of birds will die,fruit will full get rotten, Oxygen also will decrease,we will breathe dirty air and rain will also converted to acid rain and also when that time come you will realise you cannot eat money ~Thank you from your beloved human being
Starlink can get you 25 ms to the other side of the planet on a ship or plane. Just sayin. Laser and radio travel at the speed of light. Light in fiber optic cable travels about two thirds the speed of light in vacuum or the speed of light in glass. That is why a low earth orbit system using laser and radio comms can get better latency than fiber, especially considering it all has to go through the transatlantic cables and their switching stations. The reason satellite internet is so slow is because traditionally they are in geostationary orbit 36000 km away from the earth. Lightspeed one way trip is about 100 ms. But Starlink will orbit at 250-500 km resulting in single digit millisecond delays unless you're going a substantial way around the planet.
I hope future generations will still be able to admire the stars on the night sky, being able to see constellations and the milky way unobstructed. It'll be such a pity if the night sky gets polluted with artificial light spots that move frantically in all directions. 😵💫
Given that they did not tell the ESA when they were almoost going to hit their sattelite, nor did they get out of the way, I do not think they are very responsible. Also, that just means tiny pieces of burnt space junk.
ESA satellite was actually nowhere near them, that's why SpaceX ignored their stupid panic.. There is no tiny burnt junk, entire rocket stages burn up every month and leave nothing, once you are low enough to burn, there is no escaping gravity again without an engine..
I think it would be a good idea if we made a law that states if you want to put a satellite in orbit you have to take the same amount in weight of space trash out of orbit. This way we dont trap ourselves on the planet due to it being not safe enough to leave the Earth cuz the chances of someone hitting stuff durring launch and while in orbit being high. Besides that, I'm so down with anything having to do with space flight and space exploration.
Actually the government usually develops cool tech and uses it for the public gain. Everytime you use your GPS realize thats based on a network of satellites the Gov launched for military purposes but then decided to make it free to use for everyone across the world.
I don't want thousands of satellites up there polluting the view of the night sky. It is a permanent change, something we will be unable to reverse without great effort to clean those things up in the future. The prospect of collisions between satellites making the orbital space unsafe for future launches is also very concerning. I think we would be much better off developing land-based internet solutions, whether wired or wireless.
The sky isn't just SpaceX & Amazons. I look at that sky. My friends do. Family does. You do. Just because the rich can afford to capitalize on the atmosphere, doesn't mean we all consent to them trashing it.
That's a bad latency explanation. Latency is just delay, say you're playing an online game - you want the latency to be low because that let's you react faster. When watching films, I couldn't care less about the latency, it makes no difference if it takes 1 second or 5 seconds for the film to start. What I care about is the bandwidth. Think of data as water and the internet as a pipe: You can improve the latency by having a shorter pipe, but in order to have more water flow you need to make it wider.

This is the thing the media isn’t talking about that most people don’t realize, these satellites are hundreds of miles away from each other and are about the size of a tv. Satellites rarely ever come within a couple of miles of each other, there will never be any risk when launching or returning things from orbit around earth with these mega constellations

Ready player one can finally be possible 😎.
One of the advantages of LEO that wasn't mentioned is that there is some very rarefied air up there. What that means is that a LEO satellite's orbit will decay within years instead of centuries or millennia.
If there is a collision, the pieces will have to be avoided for only a few years while they get lower and lower and eventually de-orbit. In other words, LEO is self cleaning.

I saw one article that stated, since a low-earth orbit constellation would provide faster-than-fibre communications, the impact on world-wide stock-market trading, would be enormous. As for the astronomers, it looks increasingly like they will have to move towards a more space-based means of exploring the universe. The Hubble telescope showed the way and the up-coming James Webb telescope will enhance that capability. Even without any constellation-type systems in place, the number of satellites orbiting the earth would have continued to grow. As cities continue to expand, light-pollution is becoming an ever increasing problem for ground-based astronomers as well.

7:36 The audio says "$1 million"... but your captions read "$1 *_BILLION_* "??
There are so many questions on the purpose of these satellites.
- It's got to be cheaper to layout fiber-optic lines than putting satellites in orbit if it's the reason for them is just Internet connection.
- Those remote areas everybody is talking about is the underdeveloped area, meaning they can't afford the satellite Internet service.
- The maintenance cost for those satellites will be terribly high.
This just doesn't make sense in terms of business model. What is the real purpose of launching these expensive satellites that they're not telling us? Hmmm...

The Kessler syndrome where stuff in space starts a domino effect of crashing into other stuff in space is unlikely but not impossible. Already there are some plans to begin locating and capturing space junk. Also these satellites have those small chemical rockets and sensors to help them avoid collisions.
@@clavo3352 They have plans but there is no financial backing or any actual working theories on how to clean up this space debris.

Materials engineer here and aerospace engineer dropout. Young and inexperienced but practiced and certified
Space junk comments = uninformed people.
The satellites were designed to be in low orbit with a 95% re-entry burn rate.
This means upon re-entry approximately 95% of the satellite material will be burned or destroyed for each individual satellite, leaving low orbit clean. The other 5% is laser diodes and other harder components that require extreme burn resistance material wise. Any materials not burned in orbit have a maximum life time in low orbit for 2 years, however this material is extremely limited and rare to skip initial re-entry.

Ikr I guess just trying to sell it to mainstream people idk 🤷♂️
I can't believe that cnbc did not check what the people that are in their videos says.
Latency doesn’t really affect streaming , only calls, gaming...
Starlink can get you 25 ms to the other side of the planet on a ship or plane. Just sayin. Laser and radio travel at the speed of light. Light in fiber optic cable travels about two thirds the speed of light in vacuum or the speed of light in glass. That is why a low earth orbit system using laser and radio comms can get better latency than fiber, especially considering it all has to go through the transatlantic cables and their switching stations. The reason satellite internet is so slow is because traditionally they are in geostationary orbit 36000 km away from the earth. Lightspeed one way trip is about 100 ms. But Starlink will orbit at 250-500 km resulting in single digit millisecond delays unless you're going a substantial way around the planet.
@Daniel Kintigh That is incorporating that. If you had a direct line around the planet you could do quicker than that.
I hope future generations will still be able to admire the stars on the night sky, being able to see constellations and the milky way unobstructed. It'll be such a pity if the night sky gets polluted with artificial light spots that move frantically in all directions. 😵💫
Space X built the satelites to eventually fall into Earth atmosphere by the time their life cycle ends. So, no field of space debris.
Given that they did not tell the ESA when they were almoost going to hit their sattelite, nor did they get out of the way, I do not think they are very responsible. Also, that just means tiny pieces of burnt space junk.
Is that meant to be reassuring?
@@fakenews3872 Yes it means the satellites can't cause space debris problems long term
ESA satellite was actually nowhere near them, that's why SpaceX ignored their stupid panic..
There is no tiny burnt junk, entire rocket stages burn up every month and leave nothing, once you are low enough to burn, there is no escaping gravity again without an engine..
I think it would be a good idea if we made a law that states if you want to put a satellite in orbit you have to take the same amount in weight of space trash out of orbit. This way we dont trap ourselves on the planet due to it being not safe enough to leave the Earth cuz the chances of someone hitting stuff durring launch and while in orbit being high. Besides that, I'm so down with anything having to do with space flight and space exploration.
Lets see the how the Goverments start using this for their own gain.
corruption like trump's, not democracy, is the threat
Like they aren't using it now?
Actually the government usually develops cool tech and uses it for the public gain. Everytime you use your GPS realize thats based on a network of satellites the Gov launched for military purposes but then decided to make it free to use for everyone across the world.
I hope you know that GPS is US government property.
I don't want thousands of satellites up there polluting the view of the night sky. It is a permanent change, something we will be unable to reverse without great effort to clean those things up in the future. The prospect of collisions between satellites making the orbital space unsafe for future launches is also very concerning. I think we would be much better off developing land-based internet solutions, whether wired or wireless.
now they will see us!
Charles-A Rovira 🤣
The sky isn't just SpaceX & Amazons. I look at that sky. My friends do. Family does. You do. Just because the rich can afford to capitalize on the atmosphere, doesn't mean we all consent to them trashing it.
That's a bad latency explanation.
Latency is just delay, say you're playing an online game - you want the latency to be low because that let's you react faster.
When watching films, I couldn't care less about the latency, it makes no difference if it takes 1 second or 5 seconds for the film to start. What I care about is the bandwidth. Think of data as water and the internet as a pipe: You can improve the latency by having a shorter pipe, but in order to have more water flow you need to make it wider.
