- Over the next few decades, Elon Musk is hoping to send 42,000 Starlink satellites to space. With these satellites, SpaceX hopes to bring high-speed satellite internet to every corner of the world. But experts worry it may come at a hefty cost, blocking astronomers' views and potentially space exploration for decades.

I hope he doesn't. I'm an amateur astronomer returning to the hobby after about 25 years, and the number of artificial satellites up there now is unbelieveable. Wherever you look in the sky within 5 or 10 minutes one will obstruct your field of view, or more than one going in different directions. Sometimes you'll see two or threee moving along together. It used to be "Wow, there's an artificial satellite....

@@Nixv_01
Meteor showers happen because of asteroids breaking up in the atmosphere. Like all matter asteroids tend to clump together. So I don't see why we would have to worry about fleets of asteroids bombarding earth.
Of course even in such a case we could still change the direction of the asteroids as long as we had more than a year of warning. It'd just take more effort to do so.
Well that’s what the DART project is for

I believe all of that movie. Earth will be left and Mars may be the new home.

This seems cool, just as long as this STAYS "StarLink" and DOES NOT transform into anything like "SkyNet."
It would be so ironic if Starlink was created to increase the speed of the internet but causes a Kessler Syndrome that destroys all the internet satellites and prevents new ones from being launched therefore ruining internet speed.
It would ruin only satellite internet
They are wiretapped ultra fast surveillance satellites, there is not a single internet connection that's not wiretapped and these are no different. It's high time people in charge of ISP's disclosed this fact.

Starlink can only work globally, it can't stay within one place

Just means those tickets to Mars will be cheaper for all of us who want to go! Good thing.
@@singingintherain4750 Space and even orbit, is really large. Also, do you really believe that there is a way to go to Mars "safely"? Disgusting.
You forgetting that in altitudes of 200 to 400 km any debry will experience strong atmospheric drag and will fall down and burn in the atmosphere within a few years. Not decades or centuries.
Do your research right before spreading misinformation.
My point exactly
Sadly that's not how physics works
They won't come crashing towards the surface of the earth unless an external force is applied to it to disturb their inertia moreover centripetal force enables them to keep orbiting the earth even without spending energy . This is the same way how mercury or for that matter any other planet revolves around the sun even at such a low seperation
@@atharvarane6165 you seem to ignore the atmospheric drag at low earth orbit will slow their velocity which lowers their altitude eventually deorbiting them. That is why the International space station which is in low earth orbit requires its altitude to be periodically boosted to maintain its orbit. Starlink sats are in low earth orbit even if they are completely inoperable they would take less than 5 years before they completely deorbit as compared to the sats in geostationary orbit which can remain in orbit for decades.
@@atharvarane6165 the distance between mercury and the sun compared to earth and low earth sats is huge is not comparable. Low earth orbit sats are barely away from the earth so earths gravity has a lot of influence as compared to the sun and planets. If you want to compare the mercury sun relationship use the satellites in geostationary orbit.
Im a satellites historian I like looking at the old satellites from the 60s-70s especially Cosmos, I research them and determine things such as when it will plummet back to earth and such. Its gonna be a pain to search for older satellites with all these starlink satellites, but imagine all the space debree over the next 100 years....
We have culture shock, and also newer(things) shock.
i know this was 11 months ago, but what satellite made you say "what the hell was the point of launching"
Starlink is definitely for us army's need for high broadband requirements for autonomous, video streamed and ai cordinated attacks. To many satellites also makes impossible to shoot down. In war they can be moved towards specific directions and can aldo gather intelligence inspite of high speed communication.
It is cheaper to lay fiber optics around the globe instead of filling space with satellites and fibers are long lasting can cover longer area if assisted via radio. They are undermining and invading soveriegnity of other countries through private players. They are also offering it to public so they can monetize and recover expenses of this defence project.
There is a different reason why these are going into space almost everyday. Its for the new world order , for tracking .

I'm surprised Tech Insider omitted an important piece of information about Starlink in regards to the Kessler Syndrome, if starlink does end up breaking into debris, that debris only stays in orbit for a maximum of 3 years before falling into earth and burning in the atmosphere. Whereas satellites in high earth orbit can stay in orbit for hundreds of years. Making the low earth orbit satellites much less risky in regards to the kessler syndrome.
Yeah that was kind of my point they put those satellites into low earth orbit because the further out you go the more space debris there is but being in low orbit they will eventually fall back to Earth
But are you sure this is also the case when they collide? I don't think so. Parts can fly in higher orbits I think.
Debris will fly into higher orbits. Believe it or not, quite alot of energy is transfered when two objects collide at mach 30.
@@justindie7543 That's certainly a possibility, but for debris to reach a perfect orbit, they tend to have to get flung in the direction the original object was already traveling. Anything veering off course too much in a vertical axis tends to hit an imperfect orbit, which certainly doesn't end with debris staying in orbit for 1000+ years. Not to say it's impossible for debris to reach a higher orbit, but those cases are minimal compared to satellites at the traditional orbit range... And it's certainly not to the extent where journalists should completely omit a very important point in their report that might generate a biased and uninformed opinion from the viewers.
This video is supposed to shock poeple and just have views
With all this satellite competitions over earth. I wonder why they're don't also create a plan to clean up the space debris.
Space debris are not in LEO bec there is so much atmospheric drag, it'll soon come back to earth. Space debris are mostly in the geosync orbit.
@@pearllee3682 but wouldn't it be better to clean up the debris sooner instead of waiting decades or even centuries for it to come crashing down naturally
@@gre3nishsinx0Rgold4 as i said basically there is no space debris in LEO where starlink operates. It is too low that atmosphere drags it back to earth and burn up upon re entry.
@@pearllee3682 more space garbage. Pollute the sky. Plus lots of object hurtling towards Earth, the probablity it to hits the starlink....

I strongly agree 42,000 satellites are actually not that much since it orbits around the whole earth but they are showing it as its every there are trillions of them
When your wifi is so slow that your thoughts start lagging
They must have considered pushing dead satellites into deep space or at least in the direction of some place with the least risk. Could satellites be outfitted with a fail-safe rocket booster that sends the satellite away when it is no longer of use?
Thank you for sharing helpful and informative videos!
Ye. Once their lifespan is up, they have a little fuel in them to slow them down and out of orbit. Then they fall towards the earth's surface where they burn up on re-entry. Any debri should fall into the sea.

Tracking all the satellites around the earth is already problematic and there's only roughly 6k of them up there ATM. I can't possibly imagine what kind of problems 42k+ would produce.
Not a problem when there's tracking data shared amongst all the major players. This also includes stipulations in the launch contract that force spacex to maneuver their sats whenever it's on a collision course with another sat.
Every sat has collision avoidance and deorbiting capabilities.

I'm all for technological expansion, Starlink sounds amazing in theory but I can also sympathize with the astronomers, they aren't being hyperbolic. Many cosmological studies require extended periods of time (months to years) of observation fixed on a singular a object in the sky like a star or galaxy. Due to this, satellites can easily throw off instruments measuring this data due to the long time horizon required to properly gather this data. Yes, space is big, but if you have tens of thousands of satellites flying around Earth, accurate middle to long term observations become more and more challenging.
It also costs 90/month plus 600 in hardware.
It seems really hard to compete with the current market.
fast internet!? i love you Elon, even though im bulgarian.
This would be a game changer for pilots who require internet connectivity to gain live weather updates
yeah, but cant they observe space from satelites itselfs or ISS? Aren't those space companies and organizations the most apt to do such cosmos researchs?
yes thats what i think. Telescopes from satellites in space are many times better than viewing from earth. maybe its the amateur space enthusiasts wholl be pissed
@@logiknotlogic6586 it cost 10 times to make a superb telescope in space than ground thats why? There r some telescope very large to b fix on ISS. But scientists will think of fitting giant telescope on ISS in future..
@@crdev23 10 times, now. Not if starlink becomes operational.
@@logiknotlogic6586 you have a point but observing from earth with all the resources available that don't have to be shipped to you for a billion dollars cost makes it easier. And you can have larger telescopes, with more land coverage and bigger crews on earth
@@tanushbhatt1419 yes what u said is true. But 5G will never come for most countries cuz its just too expensive to set up plus the high frequency waves cud cause damage to humans and animals. Thats y starlink is imp, cuz it covers the entire world, with decent speed and latency.
Can sattilites have x-ray see through buildings using thermal capable
how fo we charge satalites~?
I can only imagine how ancient this will be in the far distant future with broader more intelligent minds....it's like horse riders mail vs.morse code telegraph vs.telephone vs. texting to get a message across. There will always be a consequence as well.

Have you seen the new Elon Musk interview with Post Malone?!
👽 ruclips.net/video/cpI9Eu-4mEA/видео.html 😂
Sounds amazing, my only problem, how is he going to mars if he cant escape with all those satelites in the way
it sounds like a lot but the satellites are so incredibly small compared to the size of the earth
And all the space junk floating around too. Yikes!
Earth's surface area is 510.1 Million km². The area Starlnks satellites will be working in is larger than that because they are hundreds of km above the ground. If you were to place 42,000 satellites on the earth's surface there would be more than 110km between each one. They are about 10 meters long. 42,000 sounds like a lot but it really isn't in comparison to the size of the planet.
There are 7.7 billion people in that space add to that 71% of that area is covered in water and a lot of it uninhabited
why did I start feeling claustrophobic living on earth?
Bro is really trying to make wifi possible in the middle of the Sahara
To the point 100000 satellites in casing the Earth what block is from ever getting into space I can't see that being a viable reason. There is about 250000 people living in my City and if everyone drives a car and you took those cars and spread them around the world I have a feeling you very hard for them to hit each other. Now there's something like 250,000 cars on a 2d Road Network where in space you have the option of 3D movement making it much harder to hit each other and vast amount of room for spacecraft and other satellites to manoeuvre. I know scientists and these are just random thoughts BTW
No, that is EXACTLY what the makers of this video were too stupid to realize.
World is massive lol
Jeff Hodgson exactly. They took an image of earth and rendered dots to represent satellites but those dots are disproportionately MASSIVE compared to the actual objects they are supposed to represent. And that makes the planet look clouded and obstructed while in reality the objects at that scale would be too small to be visible.
Well said.
i agree to some extent but i am happy with my internet connection right now...
Remember that scene from Wall-E when he is leaving earth, he gets hit by all these useless satellites
Yep, that's our future
@@bensteyn1974 no its not🤦🏾
@@bensteyn1974 The number of satellites today compared to Wall-E's (based on calculation and estimation) is so minuscule it's pointless to think that will happen in the near future. Besides, most satellites are designed to disintegrate completely during re-entry on the earth atmosphere. Or did you forget that scientists and engineers aren't stupid? They know what the hell they're doing and that includes how to prevent stuff like in Wall-E to occur.
Yes, let's use a fictional animation as a means to predict our future. Literally seen 12 comments saying this already. Joke or not let's actually do topical research into how these satellites are made and function in orbit. Astronomists are working with SpaceX to help refine these satellites to limit space pollution and reduce the impact of Astronomists from seeing them via telescope. These are scientists and engineers that have spent years in education and real life applications to develope these satellites. If these satellites posed as much of a threat as people say they would government officials wouldn't allow them to be launched in the first place. This is not particularly new technology but simply more refined and advanced technology, just because we don't fully understand it doesn't make it terrible, it's the year 2021 I'd figure at this point in humanity we'd at least try to dream bigger than what's inside our bubbles and try to evolve better as a species. But I guess too many people are bound to conspiracy theories and stories that are pre-fabricated by those that wish to keep us dumb and ill-informed to prevent us from moving forward as a mean to keep their own ways of living and wealth from being challenged. People are concerned about space debris but know little about the science behind it and claim it's terrible for us.
The sky is gonna look like how it did in Wall-e
i saw this 10 minutes ago and that brings me to this video
Lmao isnt this like WALL E
😟💀💀💀
Exactly what i thought lol
Haha,,true
Imagine a rocket 🚀 launching out of earth and a satalite just comes and knocks it down
I'm officially scared of humans
I’ve seen a couple of the satellite trains. The first time I was with someone, and they got to a certain point, and then disappeared. We had no idea what we had just seen!
Now they can really track everyone anywhere any time 😉
Sound and looks like a way to control the entire 🌍.
