Not one major news outlet is covering the destruction of Starlink this summer. Though Lemmy might enjoy Elon losing more money.

    We’re they able to de-orbit them, or do we have 200 17,000 mph projectiles waiting to obliterate other satellites and cause a shell of death trash around our planet?

    Pretty curious on how the insurance on those satellites work, I don’t think there’s really a way to find the risk price with so little previous experience on the space industry.

      They probably aren’t insured at all. These aren’t billion dollar satellites, so they’re probably just launched at risk.

      We’ve got a few deployed, they seem to do alright in rain or snow unless it’s absolutely torrential.

      It works fine under rain, lightning knocks it out though. Maybe not worth the price for you, but being someone where satellite is the only way I can get internet, it’s been an absolute game changer. Nothing else even comes close.

    Makes you wonder how much mining your Internet traffic is worth to go through all this trouble
