miskStarlink loses out on $886 million in rural broadband subsidies
deletes_their_postsFucking good. I don’t want a single penny of my money going towards any of Elon Musk’s scams.
It’s not a scam. Satellite internet was extremely expensive and slow last time I checked a few years before starlink. Yeah , musk is garbage but starlink is actually helping a lot of people worldwide.
theodewereit absolutely is a scam.. you WANT it to not be a scam, but you are incorrect..
TimeSquirrelI think it's the other way around...you WANT everything he touches to be a scam.
I don't like the guy either, but Starlink is a real, actual product that tons of people are using just fine right now.
by trying to go with "i know you are but what am i", you just prove how childish your belief in him is
Actually, failing to address any of my points and just hammering on the "Musk bad" seems childish to me.
you have no points.. i've seen their numbers.. the subscriber growth is non-existent.. revenue is abysmal.. the costs are exactly exorbitant.. there is nothing to hide.. it is a failure hoping for a rescue.. think what you like..
That's what Starship is for. A giant, cheap, stainless steel space truck that will vomit out hundreds of them before returning to Earth intact to pick up some more.
your belief in the myths apparently helps you to ignore the reality
What makes you think Starship isn’t going to Mars?
Cryo boiloff for long duration missions hasn't been solved, for one. Have you seen how much it vents just sitting on the pad?
Fair enough. Starship is still in its infancy though so I wouldn’t completely give up hope yet.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to be proven wrong and see it succeed, but it takes a LOT more than welding together a steel soda can with engines to get there.
I get your point, but isn’t that essentially what any rocket is? Lol
Buelldozerthe subscriber growth is non-existent
WTF are you on about?
In January of 2022 SL had about 245,000 subscribers. In January of 2023 they had 1,000,000 subscribers. In September of 2023 SL had over 2,000,000 subscribers. They’ve increased by a factor of 10 in less than 24 months and doubled in the last 9!
Musk is an ass but what your saying about SL just isn’t true.
