You may notice a strange edit at the 14:18 mark. That's because I had to remove a tiny section of video as a result of FC Barcelona claiming all the monetisation on this video, and I was forced to remove a tiny clip of Messi scoring his first goal.
@@asefjamilajwad Made worse by the fact I sent them multiple emails, which were all ignored. I wasn't emailing someone random. I emailed the exact person who claimed the revenue for the entire video because of a 10 second clip.
@@RealEngineering i really don't get copyright law. First off, the fact that they 'own' every footage of their player seems pretty weird to me. If i go watch a FCB match, film it with my camera, they get to claim all ownership of my video because it included one of their players? That would be like Boeing claiming all my monetization if their airplanes happen to be in my uploaded video's.
Secondly, the fact that they can claim ALL monetization for a 10 sec clip of a video that's not even remotely about them or their assets, is insane. I would still understand if they get to claim a small % of monetization, but it's not like they're losing profits because one of their player gets promoted? On the contrary, you provided free marketing. It's really insane how easy it is to make claims

If SpaceX ever goes public. I’m going all-in with every dime I have.
I’m going all in on it, Cha-Ching.
I will dump my life savings on the IPO. However this is never going to happen cause Elon Musk specifically kept SpaceX private because he does not want a board of directors or investors dictating what he does with his vision for a Mars future.
He said he will go public with it after the Mars thing is achieved

@@old888 hipity bopity your *every single modern device* is my property :)
Jitter will make this bad for gaming. Constant shift of network route nodes (satellites) can't possibly be good for a reliable gaming experience
It's probably better to stick with wire connecting to a local server
@@squid11160 For actual online gameplay is not THAT bad, as since quake 2 or so, the game just let you control the character lag free, and determines if you did shot or not etc.. by predicting what's on your screen.
Now for stadia like stuff, it's quite very bad.
Every 60 seconds in Africa, a minute passes.
I was alone in a dark forest when I saw these launching in the sky a few days ago. I figured there was probably a simple explanation but that didn’t stop me from freaking out a little.

high frequency trading is the ticket scalping of stocks. produces nothing, sucks up talented engineers and mathematicians, and has the potential risk of AI-induced flash crashes that could destroy trillions in minutes. hopefully sanders becomes president and introduces his 0.5% transaction tax which would make this kind of trading obsolete.
These just flew over my cabin in the mountains outside Vegas maybe 15 minutes ago! Blew my mind for a few minutes until I was able to figure out what they were! Its also cool that I'm near one of the only 3 cities they fly over, the others being London and NYC. Very cool!

"Starlink promises to give SpaceX a budget that dwarfs NASA's" is my key takeaway.
Basically
Genetically engineered catgirls here we go.
Yes Andrew; apparently the NASA representative spat on Elon Musk when he first proposed buying a rocket from them.
@@peterterrell1712 It was a Russian representative. (Some interview of an alleged Musk's friend on TH-cam, or a colleague.) When he was trying to buy an ICBM which was out of use. (From Russia, my country.) We had "cheaper rockets" at some point, and a large Launch Market Share, now dwarfed by SpaceX's List of launches, and I am happy, by the way! (And sorry for those people here spitting on him.)
Also, there is an interview from the "E3 gaming conference", with Musk and Bethesda Fallout creator or programmer. "StarLink will not be offered in densely populated areas." #Bethesda #Fallout #StarLink #ICBM #Russia #ElonMusk #SpaceX #nuclear #AI
7:54 as low as that ?, damn thats good
Great video, had no idea this project was so in depth. Fantastic job.

@@AnymMusic Elon is the best! Making realistic goals for everyone. It's really nice to have a private company leading the human race advancement. Unlike the government funded in which they are polluted with political goals.
@@cryingwater Well yeah, Elon in awesome, but may I remind you that SpaceX right now is basically Government funded, just not with tons of restrictions by the government
@@ravonk4632 By how big Elon's companies are I doubt the government has much say in what they do. It's just funding, it's not like SpaceX can't be funded by Elon's other companies. Sooner with the revenue Elon will get from the satellite internet I think Elon will immediately severe those funds *if* they ever restrict his company so much beyond his tolerance level. I'm not Elon but these are just my guesses
How did you make that beautyfull earth animation?
The real reason is comcast kept Elon on hold for 4 hours, and he said, "screw it, i will make i own internet".
Mans said this killed my vibe
If you want to know the truth watch my videos on Starlink. It's actually just a shell company for us government to make a SAR (synthetic aperture radar) network for full Spectrum domination.
@@AquarianSoulTimeTraveler Why would we not want an orbital AESA radar system, as long as it does not interfere with telecommunications?
Definitely strategic military plan of the shell company that is Starlink. And we definitely want it lol it's the reason anything associated with Elon musk will not fail lol. Good technology for live 3d updates of enemies. With this they can watch everyone all the time live. World wide 3d model cloud proof video surveillance... Definitely number 1 priority of military and secret reason behind Starlink.
@@AquarianSoulTimeTraveler The AESA radar option would be very limited, probably only useful for detection of RF sources and large objects such as airliners or ICBMs. It would be more useful to just have a camera on each satellite.

You got that right. "Space" is a violation of every gas law as well as the second law of thermodynamics. Look up "satellite in space" and you will see there are no actual photos, only CGI. Also, in every shot or footage of any "planet" (including Earth) you won't see a trace of a satellite, despite the fact that there are supposedly thousands of them orbiting us in a way that should provide the best coverage, meaning they should be in every single shot ever made.

**Telco companies exists**
Elon Musk: "im about to end this man's whole career"
This network works best for servicing low-density areas of the world. Cities have too much customer density for starlink to serve them all at a reasonable bandwidth, though they would still provide the lowest latency.
It will still offer some competition in these areas, but could only ever capture a small market share of the total bandwith usage.
Expect Starlink to dominate mainly in rural areas, where customer density is lower, and the cost to connect new customers via fiber is high.
@@JosephHarner Not sure where this misinformation originates from, but its wrong.
It uses phased arrays, so having lots of users in one area, is not an issue.
And in terms of bandwidth, Starlink would be better off at handling insane amount of users and loads, than the current ground based systems, due to having multiple links to multiple other sats. The term you are looking for, is bandwidth congestion, and like i said, Starlink is most likely better off than ground based solutions in cities.
Starlink will dominate more than just rural areas,because low latency applications are becoming more and more common, and if there is a cheaper faster solution, people will use it.

lmfao, only elon musk would have the balls to straight up ask the government to launch almost 8 thousand satellites.
It's actually around 12,000...they already had permission for 4000+. Crazy cool!
@H M Haha I know what you mean. Fingers crossed!
@H M unless space x has lied about satelight design to both the US Government and the Public, the lasers aren't orientable at that degree, especially that the satelights are around a globe, it would be insanely difficult.
Which government? He should have asked all of them.
@@truantray Actually, he should not have needed to ask any government. But more to the point, he asked permission to launch, not to operate. The permission was for firing a massive rocket within that government's border, not for the array of satellites, themselves.
I love how this video makes it seem like we're disapointed in the current technology that allows us to send a message from the other side of the planet and back twice during an average blink.
Nice profile picture.
We are quick to get used to comfort. I guess thats just how people are
It’s not just about the speed, it’s the _availability_
@Johnny Irenchi Short answer: Making money. Long answer: To provide a service that receives funding to be provided to SpaceX's primary goal of setting up permanent cities on the moon and Mars. Everything else is a stepping stone towards that goal.
it's not for us, it's for 3rd world countries that don't have access to the internet
0:47 that looks Satisfying
smooth transaction into brilliant sell out at the end , btw great vid brilliantly explained easy to understand
Elon about to put every internet provider out of business.
sounds really crazy to me 😂.
By just imagining how a single person can be so much powerful.
*every human....
sed8me, what do you mean?
Do the maths as a reactive circuit.
Let alone just what it is in its fundamental elements.
No Cable, I’m fine with that, cable uses satellites as well !
Nice I can play CSGO from Europe to my friends in Asia and Australia with less than 100 ms ping.
Living in Hawaii, I definitely look forward to reduced ping times.
yea the internet down here in Australia fucking sucks on ADSL2+ i barely got 0.8MB/s and the new NBN i get around 1.5MB/s in other words i went from 3 days to down load a game as big GTAV to 2 to download it and ping lol lucky to get around 100ms in country but to Europe its around 400 -500ms to Amsterdam at the moment makes games like Armored Warfare unplayable. to North America its around 270ms so games like WOT are playable well kinda WOT is so pay to win now it drives me nuts.
and the beautiful thing is how Starlink will work even for people in very rural or remote areas!
This will fucking destroy our aussie internet monopoly, with all our internet infrastructure majority owned by Telstra, and with Australia with a land mass rivaling USA but with a far lower population thus starlink would be perfect for disrupting our market and then delivering low ping high bandwidth broadband we've always wanted!
@@phalanx3803 same bro. I love it when people try to talk smack when I'm sitting with .5mps speeds and usually 80-120 ping.
Beautiful video
This could replace cable internet, but it could also compliment it. More channels for communication are always a good thing.
It has a secret function. He needs a worldwide parallel computing via [neural] network so that he can create a *catgirl army to mars*
we need the weebs worlwide to unite
Kumo Kirsclerg oh yea
Damn it Elon! This sounds like the start of skynet.
Either that or it can be used as a secret planetary defense system against asteroids.
shhh!!!
5:00 Minor correction: The wavelength of light should be smaller in glass. Also when you play your animation, the light should oscillate at the same frequency.
Lots of clutter in the night skies and nowhere to escape from work ever again... there's obvious benefits to this, but its kinda sad as well. Can't wait to have people livestreaming from every trail and mountain peak... 😔
Elon Musk said in an interview the purpose of Starlink is to fund Mars travel.
Connor Branach mind blown. I hope he means well. 👏
The video literally said that...
Yep, that's Musk's big goal and he's not wasting any time.
@@zacharycowart8380 Steve Jobs paid himself $1 for working at Apple. He got millions bc he was a shareholder. Stocks are worth a lot more than a wage.
Connor Branach oh gawd, where can i get a tckt- I’m done with these beings of earth!!🤬😤😖🤩

@@doirtlee lol
I'm really excited and fascinated by all this, but I hope it doesn't mess with viewing the constellations too much. Not that it is a deal breaker for me but it would be a little sad.
Two things excites me about Starlink:
1st, it'll be cool to see schools in rural areas in Africa get usable and affordable internet. Previous initiatives to get digital technologies to these schools such as the "one laptop per child" project in rwanda failed because of prohibitive costs of internet.
2nd, censorship will be much discouraged and citizens of countries led by dictator regimes will finally be able to easily access information and express themselves freely.
Damn took you just under 16 minutes to convince me I'm not as smart as I think I am
I would love to shift to spaceX just to piss of my current ISP..
Once this is available, I'm doing it.
Yep. I can't wait.
I fucking hate my ISP so I'm on board.
Wonder how much the monthly bill will be. If it’s under 80$ I’m down

Thrilled with getting between 180 and 230 mbs in my first week with Starlink ....compared to 11 mbs with bell
I can't wait to dump comcast which is our only choice here. Comcast has no competition so no incentive to do a good job and no one to keep their prices in check.
Another advantage that you guys forgot is the interference due to big solid objects like moutains... That would mean that even on a journey to mt everest, we could stream. Even in the center of Pacific Ocean. Also, sky would be beautiful at night
Being in such a rural area with basically dial-up, im really looking forward to this
Same, we consider ourselves lucky currently just to have crappy cellphone hotspot signal (3G only) because it's at least marginally better than current satellite internet. StarLink will be a total game changer for us.
The best part is that the 5G wireless providers will be in direct competition with StarLink --- that means service will get faster and faster for a low price
wat??? ppl are still using dial ups
@@billbelzek6748 except cable will never be able to compete with vacuum
@@billbelzek6748 If they ever provide or give good enough 5G services in rural areas, that is.
