Has anyone seen them in the night sky? Very cool looking. Elon Musk is a certified genius.

I haven’t seen them, but want to. There is bound to be something to tell you when they are visible

They are a nuisance to astrophotographers.

They have an app you can download and it shows them moving in the sky. I had Starlink until I got fiber and it worked really well. I was btw 140-180 on download speeds and that was over eight months ago. It should get better as more satellites are launched.

It’s a long string of lights

The first time I saw it I thought the aliens were invading.

How close are they to the Firmament?

They launch so many sats that there is an occasional dud. Here's one they launched in August that didn't function so they had it return and burn up.

I have been thinking about this since reading this thread…and I think this is revolutionary! The major problems with hurricane Katrina was that we couldn’t communicate with the affected area for weeks at a time. This technology would have solved that problem. If you have power and your equipment doesn’t get wrecked, you should always have communications!

I’ve seen them. Pretty neat
If he was a real genius he would them in formation spelling something. Or maybe like a big penis moving across the sky. But maybe That’s the 13 year old genius

Yes, I have seen them in the sky and I use the service for my boat. Fishin 100+ miles offshore and still being able to watch college football is pretty awesome.

Very coincidentally, I read this thread yesterday, and saw them last night!
