How Elon Musk's Starlink Launched a Satellite Space Race
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 май 2024
- The largest single constellation of satellites orbiting our planet is run by a mercurial individual who needs no introduction. But the speed and relative success of Elon Musk and SpaceX’s Starlink has raised concerns among government officials and encouraged deep-pocketed rivals, like Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos.

My father in law lives in rural Idaho and used to have 1.7 mbps internet. He got starlink and now he has 200 mbps. People don't understand how big of a deal this is.
Why is it a big deal for the rest of us that all the hill billies get internet now?
@@TheBoobanSo that people not in cities can enjoy the modern internet which was not previously available as they were in rural areas
@@pooranakumar2061 yeah, but what’s that mean? How many is that? Why should we care about them? Are they changing the world?
@@TheBooban proper snarky leftist and their moral superiority complex. Loved it
@@apnawhite5175 im not leftest. Just answer the question. The OP said it’s a big deal. Why? I guess to just that person it is. Which means it’s not a big deal.
Stop repeating misinformation about the Ukraine Starlink incident. Musk didn't threaten to turn OFF starlink in Ukraine. He merely refused to turn it ON in Russian-occupied Crimea, and specifically for a naval drone attack in which starlink antennas had been mounted to the attacking vehicles. Musk thought this went way beyond SpaceX's role as a private company providing commercial communication service. SpaceX was not a government or a military. He said to Walter Isaacson "how am I in this war?" Since that time, the US defense department has contracted with SpaceX for Starlink services in Ukraine, so the company is now less directly exposed.
Correct. The US and other NATO countries doesn't allow their weapons to be fired into Russia, but no one complains.
How is SpaceX less directly involved? Who would look at this revolving door between SpaceX and the American "defense" department and say, "oh nothing to see here, SpaceX is a Do-No-Evil company".
@@aaabbb-py5xd they sold part of their satellite constellation to the US Gov, which is now known as starshield. They have no direct involvement when it comes to war involvement ie attacking Russia outside of Ukraine .
I live in Nunavut and was paying $84 for 50gb of data at 1.5mb with upload at 512kb. I'm happy we got starlink now because I hated paying $84 for 50gb and $15/1gb.
SENDING THIS MESSAGE WITH STARLINK from rural Puyehue, Chile. This thing has changed my life.
I’m watching this via my starlink and I’ve to say it’s so much faster than my previous cable connection. The setup process is super easy and the price is okay with 50€ per month. I’ll be switching to fiber next year but for now this is my go to solution and it works flawlessly.
If it works flawlessly, why do you still next to switch to fibre next year? I’m actually curious
👆?
@@FatolaIsrael my current connection is pretty slow (25 MBits) and for some reason gets interrupted during hot weather. Therefore I switched to starlink for now which is faster and more reliable. However, they are currently building fiber connections in my region which will take roughly 1 more year until it finally works. Once that is the case, I’ll switch to fiber. It’ll be more expensive but also….i mean….fiber is the pinnacle of internet connections;)
Tru, fiber optic ranges from 1,000 to 10,000 Mbps while Starlink is 25 to 220 Mbps
This is the clearest example of Visionary. Everything you led, people followed.
Well I guess he got the idea from Project Loon...DC--X Delta Clipper...etc etc
Starlink is excellent and it is now profitable. It's a game-changer for rural areas and developing countries where it would take years to install cable / fibre infrastructure.
Most active satellites in space right now are Starlink, almost 6,000, in just ~6 years, insane to think about. Falcon 9 is a workhorse, and reusable rockets is an innovation no one else has even reached yet so kudos to SpaceX for not just achieving it but then taking maximum advantage of that capability to launch Starlink, this is what makes America great.
Communication tools falling into the wrong hands is an issue, but weapons falling into the wrong hands isn’t?
Which weapons are you talking about?
When Starship becomes operational (reusable Starship), then SpaceX is going to have the satellite internet monopoly that no one could beat for decades to come.
if regulators agree on the number of satellites he plan to have then yes.
@@r3dp1lleven without that spaceX has more launch capacity than the entire world ( govt + pvt cos ) combined.
They already have largest satellite fleet, by the time regulators catch up spaceX would be far ahead.
they dont need starship to launch satellite, they already has 3 site launching satellite multiple time weekly. there currently over 6000 space x satellite in the LEO space. starship r made to launch big boy to space, we talking over 150 tons per launch. you can make the international space station in 4 go presume they just do 100 tons each run.
Here we go again…attacking Musk because he had the vision to innovate
hows the cyber truck lol
@@travishylton6976 this exact type of comment has been on every post about musk since the mid 2000s. What have you done since the mid 2000s 😂
Please use the international (i.e. metric) system in your videos.
Disgusting. We only do freedom units here
@@AL-lh2ht 🤔
opposite of it lol @@AL-lh2ht
@@AL-lh2ht 😂
This ain't a science class
Amazon has 2 satellites in orbit. Two.
Its amazing what you can achieve when you are innovative and vertically integrate.
Vertically integrate? What do you mean by that?
Vertical integration is the ownership over multiple stages of the production process. For example Ford once owned steel mills, power plants, and coal mines when they were cranking out the Model T.
@@FatolaIsrael He meant that they use their own rockets to launch their satellites.
@@johntheux9238they also build their own satellite components, terminals, ion engines, laser links etc
Love StarLink...StarLink, you shine like Stars..Keep it Up 👈👍😘
In couple years, every airplane (and militaries?) will have starlink, speed will be much faster, and price will be cheaper. Starlink is probably going to be most important organization ever created.
Can you use the metric system which almost every country except the usa uses? Include both if you have to
Anyone that doesn't recognise the genius of Elon Musk is delusional.
A lot of misinformation about the Securitie concerns
and about Amazon's cost savings with BO (if any). Only 45% of the contracted value goes out to BO so there's not much of an advantage there plus SpaceX's launches are way cheaper so their launch costs are way lower than Amazon's.
Starlink has one of the biggest moats in history.
You missed the point that SpaceX has REUSABLE rocks, so building this service has come at a far lower cost than other rocket providers.
This news story is about space technology... please add distances in km. If you've ever watched a SpaceX launch video, you'll notice they use km not miles.
Starlink now has 3M subscribers!
Bloomberg is awesome! Thanks for you superb reporting!❤🔥
Starlink is already a wildly profitable business. What year is this 2020 ?
What happens when there is heavy Rain or Snowing? will it work with same speed or speed get reduced?
problem for amazon is nobody other than spacex can launch rockets as fast, just having a launch vehicle isn't enough
funny thing is, amazon investors might require Bezos to launch its satellites from Space X rockets as they are the cheapest option.
@@r3dp1ll Amazon signed a deal with spacex to launch their satellites earlier this year
3:54 reducing the 'latency speed' 🤣
Elon Musk is a US national treasure😊❤
The speed test kinda proved how bad UK network infrastructure is...
Do your research, there's no drama his service is essentially and even more essential to the us military, who paid him to install their own military version of starling.
You mention amazon as a competitor but the current largest is One web who already have over 500 operational satellites in orbit.
“This side is the fiber broadband”
Jeff besoz looks more like the vocalist of Disturbed
Once Space X goes public Elon will become the first trillionaire probably and then off to Mars it is.
😂Starlink sales department question before delivering a terminal: are you a terrorist: yes / no? Similar to the questions you get when asking for a tourist visa 😂 (irony)
I remember Bloomberg and the news industry calling musk crazy for starting Starlink. Looks who's eating crow now
Ou até mesmo uma liga cerâmica.
2:45 Kitty’s new plaything
Perhaps in the future elon can produce handphone receive signal direct from satellite.
Race or marathon? Because there’s no race
Love mine. Rural WA US, 5 mbps DSL to 150 mbps for same money.

Please don't falsely state that amazon's project kuiper competes with Starlink. Blue Origin has yet to send a rocket in orbit, yet alone having the capability to construct an entire satellite constellation. While having been around longer than SpaceX.
Yes they are contracting other non-reusable launch providers, but this can in no way compete with the pace of the rapidly partially reusable Falcon-9. And by the time Blue Origins New Glenn is fully online in 20....26? SpaceX will have their Starship rocket online, which can deliver even more starlinks than Falcon-9, while also being fully rapidly reusable, on top of the thousands of satellites already in orbit. Amazon can't compete, since there will be no more space left to occupy.
Stop downplaying SpaceX's complete domination of blue origin, just because it is run by a controversial figure.
Most people dont need internet , they need clean food and water. Not space trash that isnt regulated
"amazon could figure out the security issues before it launches and that could give them a competitive edge"
what does this utterly vacuous statement even mean? because honestly it suggests the reporter doesn't know anything at all about how internet or satellite asset security works and is just trying to use meaningless word salad to bs the viewer. I've been watching Lauren Grush's space news coverage for years and I really think she's better than this, better than Bloomberg. If you're reading these comments, just walk away, honestly, biased corporate legacy media is completely gone at this point. Just go it your own on yt or substack or something. You'll end up making more in the long run and can actually retain some self respect.
When they burn up coming down in waves in 20 years then what
They are already profitable, what are these journos even talking about
Those talking in the video seem to be from a month or so ago.
Monopoly.
All because this man want to go to Mars.
build your own then
Within 4/5 years Chinese low orbit satellites will beat Starlink satellites ( as usual) 😂
Elon Musk 🫡
Rocket Labs coming
Absolutely not lol
@@YoosufMuneer there pretty much now in second; they won’t catch SpaceX, I just mean they’re behind them.
When an ISP gets to decide who should have internet in the world and who doesn't, based on their own moral code, we're in trouble...We're way beyond the point where internet access should be a legal commodity like gas, electricity, etc. and denial of such service can't be the choice of the provider, who should fall under governmental regulation and not be able to privately discriminate customers.
Never gonna disrupt my fibre cable 😂
It's not meant to
It will. Because with Starship he will put bigger satellites with massive backhaul. He will then drop internet access to $1 for the World. Faster than fibre and lower latency for most.
@@michaelnurse9089 copium canister filled
@@michaelnurse9089huh? Lol
@@modawod ignoring his clearly insane take, you fail to understand that starlink is mainly for rural areas, not places currently serviced by fiber.
This is very dangerous..😢😢😢ok
😂 That line about how Amazon could solve security issues before launching and that it would give them a competitive advantage. What a braindead take.
I bet they put that clip there by mistake, it’s a completely irrelevant comment.
If someone had a concern about something and you launched a rival product saying 'we heard about that concern, so we did XYZ,' why wouldn't that potentially be advantageous?
@@NateLanxonbecause it’s just a dumb thing to say. Whatever Amazon comes up with, Starlink can too. And who is he to say they can do it? Do what exactly? Why do we need his opinion about it? Does Amazon really care? He just blab something unsubstantiated.
Blue origin is no competition, i saw Bezos make an announce of basically an elevator that went out of the atmosphere. It's a joke next to spaceX
Think of all the space junk in 20 years.
Same thing different day. Old news
I will not be surprised if each one of these has 5 kilowatt laser cannon that can simultaneously fire at one target.
All eyes on Hindu in Pakistan 👁️
It's not "russian - urkainian conflict". It's a war.
you forgot the most important concern: Space Debris and Kessler syndrome
I used to worry about the debris issue too. then I found out starlink orbits at such a low altitude that sometimes solar flares knock them down as the atmosphere expands. Any debris will quickly come down.
First!
What could possible go wrong?
Allows US military to better control their combat drones.
Since starlink is closer to earth no need for big heavy communication antennas.
Allows for smaller military drones.
Onr thing is for sure.... China is going to do it cheaper and better.
Starlink is also a weapon system.
It allows the USA to control Combat Drones anywhere on earth.
harder to jam or disrupt.
All satellites are theoretically usable as weapon systems. By that same logic, a pencil is a weapon if you stick in someone's eye.
Don't forget direct mind control via nuralink
41.9 fiber broadband? 2:54
For fiber should be minimum 100mbps, because using previous technology DSL already can reach 100mbps
For Fiber network in my country:
200mbps 25usd
600mbps 31usd
1gbps 44usd
2gbps around 84usd
I am not talking about anything about starlink
I just dono why reporter always like to take worst thing to compare with
race? theres is no competetion!
Clean up your space junk. What do you clean up? Nothing
What's the drama, there might be some but it's nothing to do with the points you made. Space Junk, and a monopoly that ultimate is also a military strategy advantage. Get a real journalist.
More space garbage
It’s not a problem when objects are tracked as satellites are. These deorbit themselves at the end of their lives. They don’t stay up there forever. Space garbage occurs when countries launch missiles at satellites and destroy them sending shrapnel everywhere as Russia, China, and the USA have each done or when a country launches a satellite but doesn’t leave enough fuel to deorbit it at the end of its life.
Starlink or any other companies should pay all of us….remember the outer space treaty. Elon is operating in a common goods area, and we all should be compensated.
Using his fame to profit and spreading misinformation blatantly is beyond comprehension. These clowns have lost their moral integrity.
That is just Bad American public spending. Not admirable at all that billionaires steal taxes and create solutions to those problems.
Starlink receives no public money. It is 100% privately funded by SpaceX.
