Stupa, there’s a lot more coming and Starlink is not the only player. Satellite is the future of global broadband, that’s for sure.

Thats pretty insane.

lots of the comments are pretty scary through, scary in a OMFG you cant be serious way.

Crazy how small they are too.

"Each Starlink satellite measures approximately 2.8 meters (9.2 feet) in length and 1.4 meters (4.6 feet) in width, with a thickness of about 0.2 meters (0.7 feet). The weight of each satellite is roughly 260 kilograms (573 pounds)."
