SpaceX Just Launched 60 Starlink Satellites (And Nailed a Milestone Rocket Landing)
Space.com | 11/11/19 | Amy ThompsonCAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — SpaceX’s plans to bring global internet coverage to the world just took another leap forward as its 9th Falcon 9 rocket flight of the year launched 60 new Starlink internet satellites into orbit Monday (Nov. 11).
. . .
Tucked inside the rocket’s nose cone were 60 Starlink satellites — the second batch (and first operational set) of SpaceXs broadband internet megaconstellation, which the company hopes will help provide affordable internet coverage to the world.
. . .
Although the initial Starlink plan called for a megaconstellation of 12,000 satellites, the company plans for its burgeoning cluster to eventually be more than 40,000 satellites strong.
. . .
And SpaceX is not alone. Several other companies (including OneWeb, TeleSat, and now Amazon) want to provide internet to the masses by deploying a network of small satellites in low-Earth orbit, hovering much closer to the Earth than current satellites.
…Earth will have rings (and bracelets) prettier than Saturn’s.
…If you like it, should’ve put a ring on it.
… California will pass legislation banning low-orbit pollution, and all satellites will need to fly in eccentric orbits to avoid paying crushing fines…
…Skynet ring to rule them all.
… Amazon and Google will join the space race, and the planet will be cooled by the loss of sunlight getting through to the earth…
but surprisingly, because of the loss of Solar Panel output. Global Warming will increase.
Heaven forfend that there is an adverse effect on the winds!
… Al Gore, self-proclaimed Internet Inventor Emeritus, will claim credit for that too.

well I’m not saying that there will be too many of them for Aliens to reach Earth but… there will be too many of them for the Aliens to reach Earth.
You make that sound like it’s a bad thing, but in reality, SpaceX is building our Space Wall.
Now how do we get Mars to pay for it?

it will be a right of every person to have his/her/xhe own Earth orbiting vehicle.

One actually reached escape velocity .
…cat videos FOR ALL!!!
