Both those videos use wildly wrong numbers. There are no plans to use F9 for the entire constellation. SpaceX told the FCC they will use Starship (launch 200-400 sats at once) for the gen 2 constellation, which is 30k satellites. Thunderf00t uses AWS data transfer cost instead of actual backhaul costs. Average household uses 435GB/month and that is $52/year in backhaul cost using .01 per GB. His $10bil/year backhaul numbers imply they have 191mil subscribers to get to that cost... There are a bunch of other issues, but it's too tedious to go through it. Someone did a write-up on all the problems with the CSS video. https://littlebluena.substack.com/p/common-sense-skeptic-deb... |
