Main reason is that the Starlink value proposition is “better Internet for less money” for most people in low population density areas, which is compelling no matter how the economy is doing

Despite 30 knot winds at the Allan Hills, Antarctica, where ice cores up to 2,700,000 years old have been found, Starlink continues to give the -supported COLDEX team unprecedented connectivity!

Any engineers out there interested in helping build the Starlink app? Looking for devs who want to push the limits of what can be done in React Native. DMs open.

There are 3+ million schools & 1+ billion students without access to internet. That lack of connectivity is a barrier to solving so many challenges. Investments in space, like Starlink, can make 🌍 a better place. was happy to support such an important effort🚀

We’re excited to provide Starlink to over 100 schools in Chile and Brazil, and the Polaris Dawn crew recently talked to children at the first school in Chile to be connected as part of this effort! → polarisprogram.com/polaris-progra

Headline is misleading. Starlink can obviously offer far more robust positioning than GPS, as it will have ~1000X more satellites over time.
Not all will have line of sight to users, but still >10X GPS & far stronger signal.
Just not today’s problem.

1. Efforts have been underway for more than a month to get Starlink terminals to Iran. One group of activists--who want to stay anonymous to protect their networks--asked me to share this video. They've already sent dozens of terminals to Iran and intend to scale up.

Are there others that want to donate Starlinks to places in need?

Just installed Starlink and quite impressed with initial speeds & ease of setup. Most excited about its potential to bring internet access to remote & rural areas that lack infrastructure. @elonmusk I’d be glad to commit $$ to donate Starlink to schools & hospitals in Uganda.

Starship & next-gen Starlink satellites are key, but much risk lies ahead before those are working at scale

That dude is not just a “condition of anonymity” spineless coward, he’s also an ignorant fool. Starlink was directly requested by the Ukraine government, as it was the only thing that worked.

It has required a lot of our resources. Going into super lockdown mode slows down new development progress, as we have to resist attacks from a sophisticated adversary actively at war.

Of course. And their signal jamming systems are also getting better.

The amount SpaceX is requesting for a major battlefield advantage is less than the cost of one new GPS satellite. Ironically, GPS doesn’t work on battlefields, as the signal is easy to jam, but Starlink does.

Internet fiber, phone lines, cell towers & other space-based comms in war areas have been destroyed.
Starlink is all that’s left. For now.

Starlink is the primary communications system of the Ukrainian army on the war front. If anyone else wants this job, please be my guest …

Big difference between peace comms vs warfront comms.
Starlink is only comms system still working at warfront – others all dead.
Russia is actively trying to kill Starlink. To safeguard, SpaceX has diverted massive resources towards defense.
Even so, Starlink may still die.

In addition to terminals, we have to create, launch, maintain & replenish satellites & ground stations & pay telcos for access to Internet via gateways.
We’ve also had to defend against cyberattacks & jamming, which are getting harder.
Burn is approaching ~$20M/month.

Also, Starlink is still losing money! It is insanely difficult for a LEO communications constellation to avoid bankruptcy – that was the fate of every company that tried this before.
When asked what the goal of Starlink was at a space conference, I said “not go bankrupt”.

SpaceX is not asking to recoup past expenses, but also cannot fund the existing system indefinitely *and* send several thousand more terminals that have data usage up to 100X greater than typical households. This is unreasonable.

Starlink requires nothing except ~50 Watt power source. With a small solar system plus battery or a generator, you will have connectivity anywhere.
