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.

Just after they deploy them, they fly in a line like that until they move into position and unfold. SpaceX has a YouTube channel where you can see when they launch new ones. It can be as often as twice a week.

For bringing ideas to reality. That’s pretty difficult at this scale, btw.

The Elon hate simply because he bought Twitter and let the orange back on is pretty childish.

Thinking I didn't hold the same opinion of him long before then is childish. Do you show up in every Elon thread to knight for him? You probably need to hear this, he's not gonna frick you.

I don’t really care about Elon. But I’m kind of a space aficionado and SpaceX is leading the way in the advancement of space exploration so I’m rooting for them. Starlink is part of SpaceX so I’m reading the thread. I think it’s weird that people hate him though. It’s really weird
