let's be honest though - they're launching starlinks at a loss on the hope of future returns.

It's not profitable like an external customer would be. And the more I think about starlink's future implications the more I think the whole thing should be nationalized by the US government like TOR: let anyone connect to the internet, especially in areas under attack.

And also, swarm the sats against launching icbms if needed :D
