  That was kind of the reason for the question.

  Basically, Musk is the reason I would not give the company money. The Kessler syndrome was the only other thing on my radar, but it sounds like that’s not really an issue based on other responses.

  So I was hoping to find if there were any other issues with the company I should be aware of…

    The way I see it, Starlink is more a military tech than civilian. It is a huge gamechanger on the battlefield and in the drone technology - it is the cheapest and most reliable way to obtain high speed network connection on a middlestrike drone.

    So what Starlink would do depends on the will of American government. And that depends on who’s in charge. With all the consequences.

      Good point - I guess it’s pretty on par with GPS in that way…

      Not sure if the U.S. nationalizing the system would be better or worse…

        GPS is much easier to jam.
