      Because the DoD can have plausible deniability by not giving Ukraine access to the actual military satellite network.

      what do you mean by allowed? as in if you are a private company you should not be allowed to have satellites? is that what you mean?

        As in there’s only so much air space and it’s already crowded…

        It’s needs regulated, letting any company throw whatever they want up there is fucking stupid.

        Name any point in human history when letting companies do whatever the fuck they want in an area hasn’t fucked over the majority of people.

          Turns out it’s not very easy to just dump a ton of satellites and pop out a new network whenever you want.

            Seriously, the Starlink and Falcon 9 production is unlike anything else. Amazon and China will try to copy it, but it’ll take them way more time and money.
