How is Spacex Starlink going to be revolutionary? 

Finally I can play Space Engineers with Aussies.

I hope Verizon will be the first to go bankrupt.

FCC: how many satellites are you gonna launch? Elon: Yes

This project was brought to you by Skyn... Starlink.

Feels like Elon just found an exploit in the game for infinite money

$50 billion per year? They’re not printing money, they’ve discovered the philosopher’s stone.

Elon Musk warns about AI then goes and builds skynet 😅

10/20 years ago: nasa are amazing 2 years ago: spacex "hold my can of rocket fuel"

I can't wait for the day I can call up and shitcan Comcast and get some Starlink

how long until Musk builds himself a death star ?

Space Traffic Control comes to mind.

Soon the flat earth people will be enjoying faster internet speeds so they can spread their theories on how the earth is flat and the satellites are not really there!

I imagine another benefit is the difficulty in censoring the Internet when accessed via satellite vs terrestrial sources.

When Elon spoke about it back a few years ago I honestly did't think it's gonna happen in this or the next decade. truly amazing stuff. We forget how lucky we are living and watching this now.

so spaceX is making fiber optic cable look like dial up I never thought the day would come

Imagine what space x could do with 50 billion a year

I am such a slacker... nice that someone is working hard!

Hey if its faster and cheaper than I cant wait to tell Comcast to go fly off somewhere.

As a proud owner of a starlink dish now i being absolutely blown away by its performance, i find this video even more satisfying. I grew up with barely dsl, having the ability to just do generally anything and everything online now has changed a lot for my family living in the country. There's almost two thousand sats in space now, in two years thats just insane!

lmao so elon played a game, raged by the lag and decided to remove lag from existence, thats my theory

Yes about time someone challenges the big internet providers. I'll be one of the first to switch to star link

I hope Elon stays a good guy. He could do some serious damage as a villain 😭

Soon enough, I’ll be able to buy plenty of land in the wilderness where the whistling birds and flurrying trees are what wakes me up. Make a house with a wood hearth, learn to hunt and garden, and be utterly indulged in it. Blacksmithing, woodworking, and some other ancient crafts that still live today. And then, when I’m done with my day, have a 4K video chat with my best friend to have a good conversation about our days, because I’ll have gb/s internet from SpaceX Starlink. I love it. 😄

I would even switch just to help Elon fund his thing

How long before telecoms tries to claim an unfair advantage and sue him to stop lol

I believe Elon has stated that the cost for each individual satellite is or will eventually be ~$300k.

Exponential technological growth will replace conventional telecommunications companies at much lower cost.

I can't wait to finally have high speed internet out here in rural Michigan. I would love to be one of the first customers. Finally play multiplayer PS4 games out here in the country!

I'm pretty sure this was the plot of Kingsman

Many thanks for an excellent explanation.

THREE YEARS LATER. I´m in Chile, in a place with no previous conectivity, using Starlink. I can say Elon Musk has changed my life forever.

Glory and Honor the more in depth info the better thanks bro

SpaceX and Elon are awesome, thanks for this coverage!

I wonder if the second generation of Starlink satellites is going to have an outward-facing antenna/laser transmitter... You know, for constant, uninterrupted communication with Mars and Moon...

The rocket's 1st stage had been used twice before and the fairing was also reused. So the rocket was paid for and then some.

Elon Musk is really changing what the world looks like. Between Tesla and SpaceX... We're looking at incredibly fast worldwide internet and self driving cars within the decade.

Global high speed internet on Earth and a Mars colony. I really hope he succeeds in this plan!

Freakin' Krypton ion drives with freakin' space lasers

This was not my new years resolution but it made my year feel so much better

A network... *in the sky... **_in the future?!?_*

Can’t wait to sign up for Starlink. I pay $125/mo to hughs satellite for basically dial- up speed.

Elon is totally on a different level... why are people betting against him!...

amazing vid, thanks.

Tony stark: i invision a shield around the entire world Elon Musk: i invision cat memes around the entire planet

I've always been skeptical and critical of Musk's bold claims, but Starlink is pretty damn amazing. Providing the service is affordable I will become a Starlink subscriber.

Elon said the launch for Starlink was more expensive than the payload. Estimates on what it costs SpaceX to launch a new Falcon 9 range from 20-30 million but nobody knows what a twice flown Block 5 might cost them. Although there is an article that puts launch costs as low as 12-16 million for a third flight of a Falcon 9. So potentially, if say relaunching a B5 Falcon costs from 10-20 million then the satellites would be in the range of 100-300 thousand dollars.

Marcus, You Rock. Great videos, I really enjoy them & I know bugger all about space. So to learn more I have subscribed.

Need an updated this. Best channel…

Hey hey you beautiful people! Welcome to the future of broadband with Starlink. I can't wait to see this roll out. What did you all think of the launch? Pretty awesome way to deploy all 60 satellites. Slight spin and release. Simple, yet effective!

Space-X is going to be the Weyland-Yutani of our reality, mark my words lol

No had no idea that this was a thing, so as you can imagine, when I saw it last night, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Me and a large group of people went to a fantastic place to watch the sunset and also look at the stars. It's always clear that I am the most interested out of everyone in stargazing, not in a smartass way, but just in a general interest and entertainment way. I actively look for satellites, shooting stars,and planets. I thought I must have looked into a flashlight and was seeing tricks by the light, or maybe had a head rush, or just anything reasonable to my mind that wasn't actually a PERFECT line of what looked to be 30 satellites moving together stretching across the sky. I have always thought about (even dreamt) seeing an indescribable space related phenomenon that I could share with others, never in my life did I ever think I would see something like this. After a couple of hours of stargazing, everyone began getting ready to leave (it was freezing at night so everyone wanted to leave early) I remember trying to keep bright lights out of my eyes to see the most stars possible all the way to the very last minute that I was given. As the whole group moved out, I fell a little behind as I was looking up at the sky while walking. Finally I turned on my flashlight and started walking forwards, but as I am easily distracted, I immediately looked up again because I knew I won't get another opportunity to see the stars like this for a long time. Then I saw it. Even now, hours after the event, I find myself still at a loss for words. As I watched them move together across the sky, questions started shooting rapidly through my mind, "Is that real?", "What even is it?", "Could that be manmade?", "Why is it in a line?", "How is no one seeing this right now?", "How long will it be there?", "Will I even be able to tell anyone in time to see it?", "What if they disappear and no one believes me?", "Is it dangerous?", "Could they be missiles in orbit?", "What should I say?!", "What should I do?!?". So many different emotions pilled on each other in an adrenaline filled confusion. Still questioning my eyes, I started moving towards the rest of the group, not daring to let it out of my sight. Almost instinctively, I headed towards who I knew I could trust to react to such an event, my family, my sister. But before I got to her, I stopped to point out the train in the sky to two random strangers to make sure I wasn't the only one that could see it. They responded seemingly calm asking the obvious question "What is that?". I was happy to see that other people were witnessing it with me, the whole night I had been staring at the sky while others were talking to each other. There were a few people that were stargazing, but I was the only one really actively looking for satellites, shooting stars, and planets. I enjoy showing people the SkyGuide app I have so they could see exactly what they were looking at, point out satellites, and occasionally point out the international space station. However, it's hard to get people excited about a dot moving across the sky slowly. Anyway, I broke out into a full sprint towards my sister passing everyone in the process. I could I called her name, but with it being so dark, I couldn't tell where she was or if she could hear me. So instead, I stopped, and just asked loudly, "Does anyone see this?". Maybe it was the small hint of adrenaline in my voice that made them actually look up. I am so glad that they were all just as confused as I was, because if they didn't see it, I don't know what I would do. After we tracked the dots across the sky for the entirety of their visible duration, we all took random guesses at what it could be, what it could mean, and how it makes us feel. Never in my life have I ever really questioned if aliens could be real, but in that moment, all logic escaped me, and I didn't know what to consider. After all, this was too perfect of a line and too slow a pace for it to be a natural occurrence such as meteors or shooting stars. Normally, things can be explained quite easily, or thought out to at least a reasonable assumption. But this, it had no explanation. Just a perfect line of stars, moving at the same speed, visible by everyone. The reality shattering event had me in awe. With no reception at our stargazing place, there was no immediate way to ask the questions we had. Instead we just told the strangers around us to look up and all watched the train of mysterious objects slowly move across the sky until they were no longer visible. I've never experienced something like this in my life, and it was so surreal to be surrounded by complete strangers and see something so mysterious and beautiful. I am constantly amazed by the mystery and unpredictable nature of the night sky, and I was so happy to see those around me be just as amazed and confused by galaxy we live in. I keep finding myself doing reality checks and being in a state of disbelief. It may just look like a line of dots, and it may be exactly that, but last night, that was the once in a life time space related phenomenon that I have always dreamt about. Something about being the first spot it, and not one person out of the hundred or so people there knowing what it could be, felt so strange. And I loved ever second of it. Thank you Elon musk, for, in the most literal way, making my dreams come true.

the thought of having a global internet connection and being able to live anywhere, call anyone and use google translate in absolutely any place you can imagine is wonderful. good luck to this project and any other competitors that enter this market

Please, please hurry Mr. Musk so I can get away from the constant screwing I'm getting from Century Link( the only ip provider in my area). Please put these rip offs out of business.

With it being an idea from Elon Musk, it's bound to be revolutionary lol

Good video. Hopefully the BFR with its huge payload area will be around soon enough to fast track this project. Will also give SpaceX a chance to test their new rocket in relatively short orbital hops before progressing to manned missions to the moon and beyond.

Was able to check out the satellite train overhead last night. Very cool

I'm having bandwidth issues watching this right now. I cannot wait for this to be a thing.

ive seen those 60 satellites last night on the sky. Beautiful sight indeed.

This just flew over my house last night! It was awesome!

Thanks for the info.

If latency is low enough for gaming and its not a metered connection it will rule the world.

How many rockets has space x built and how many rockets do they maintain in there fleet of rockets.

This is amazing. What an important thing. Exciting

Great video

I do know they said the launch cost more than the satellites it carried.

Fibre optic too slow. Meanwhile Australia spent 50b instaling copper broadband. Genius.

Confidence is defined as having a company to launch rockets into space to the space station,the moon,Mars and beyond and you also put a net of debris in your way that you know you can just math and science your way through it!!! WOW!!

How long would the satellite constellations be able to stay within their designated orbits before succumbing to the albiet limited atmospheric drag imposed on them and after the detla v on the on board thrusters runs out to keep them there even with atmospheric drag?

I can't wait to get my starlink subscription!!!

Mass manufacturing is always cheaper per unit then one off systems

Watching all this unfold is like the best entertainment ever

This does put a smile on my face

I really love Starlink. It's such a transformative use of technology, far more useful and beneficial than anything the likes of Mark Zuckerberg or Jeff Who have ever done.

Hey Wow, I can see Earth from space!

Your videos are brilliant

Hi! Thanks for the video. Is there any idea how the end user will get the connection to starlink internet?

That reminds me of where i have access to hyperloop ,underground tunnels ,Bfr ....

Elon is removing the need for old fashioned garbage internet tied to dinosaur cable companies. He will effectively bring bandwidth into the future for the entire planet (except the poles) which will standardize communication and expectations of service for all. I have this nagging feeling Elon is the singularity.

Hey Marcus :) keep us updated on how the sattelites will roll out after they ve been released in space. looking forward to watch your video about it ;)

please tell me. its satellites between wire join？or separate moving？

I live in rural America where our Broadband access is restricted to just a couple of choices. We currently use HughesNet. The cost is prohibitively expensive at $129/mo for 50 GB. As you can imagine that is not much data in these days of streaming video and overnight data backups and speed is lackluster. I will jump ship immediately to Starlink just as soon as their service begins. I know that there are several other proposals for large satellite constellations. Hopefully, spacing can be worked out for everyone to compete in the crowded sky.

AMOS-6 is still too fresh. Seeing the footage on repeat throughout the video was too much 😂 also, this launch didn't have lasers. That's coming later.

I'm fascinated 🙌

Just what we need!

Can you make a video on what SpaceX could do with the extra money It gets from Starlink?

I can imagine some of those Socialist/communist governments out there aren't going to be too chaffed with an internet they can't deprive their subordinates of so easily any more....

Love from Argentina. We are waiting for Starlink

Can’t wait for this to come online. Comcast is history.

UFO at left corner at 9:47

a literal "sky net"...

That's going to make getting other satellites up interesting for sure. Like playing Frogger in Space ?

Does anyone know what the thing in the top right corner is at 10:00 is it another satellite or a pice of the rocket that was detached such as one of fairings?

As soon as it is operational i will buy!

He’s turning into handsome jack. @_@

Marcus do you have any data reflecting peak load limitations per unit based on comparison between the amount of energy each satellite can derive from it's solar panels and various rates of expenditure?

Please do another video to explain for simple folks like us: 1. In near future...would we be able to delink from fibre and other conventional internet and link up seamlessly to Starlink...not just at home but on the move? 2. What will be the comparative benefits? 3. Pricing for different services? 4. Can we get rid of high radiation 5G and 4G towers ever? 5. Can these sats give us much better view then Google earth? 6. Can these sats help in things like weather monitoring, fire fighting, crop monitoring, traffic, security? 7. What is the safety aspect of sats? Hacker proof? 8. Can these sats also track airplanes in flight? 9. Can we have cheap, fast internet on airplanes? 10. What kind of multi disruptions would Starlink cause as other Tesla projects are already causing and making some people like big boys, big oil, media, wall street go bonkers?! Keep doing these great vids...we are loving it.

so is gonna look like when wall-e leaving earth?

Don't forget to factor in that this sattalite is mass produced. They can also ammortize the development cost over 12000 instead if 1 to 4.

What sort of hardware do you need to receive space based internet connection? A satellite dish?

+1 informative for mentioning buffer bloat.
