Elon Musk explains why Starlink is basically unbreakable
โThere are over 10,225 Starlink satellites in low Earth orbit right now, moving at 25 times the speed of sound, Zipping around the Earth at ~550 km altitude
Because theyโre so close, latency is extremely lowย unlike old-school geostationary satellites at 36,000 km.
Theyโre all interconnected with laser links, forming a giant laser mesh network in space
Even if fiber cables get cut on the ground, Starlink keeps working perfectly
High-speed internet anywhere on Earth no matter what happens belowโ
