SpaceX internet service by 2019

Quote:
the plan would put 4,425 satellites into orbit around the Earth, operating in 83 planes, at fairly low altitudes of between 1,110 kilometers and 1,325 kilometers. The company will also support its network with ground control centers, gateway stations, and other Earth-based facilities. That makes it an ambitious plan, not least in terms of volume. There are only an estimated 1,459 satellites in orbit around our planet at the moment ? the SpaceX scheme would launch triple that figure, potentially cluttering up the space around Earth, making future launches potentially difficult and dangerous.

Rocket ship insurance rates are expected to increase dramatically.
This does solve the 'last mile' issue for cable and fiber perhaps ...

Skynet, coming online in 2024! lol

This would be awesome. Though, I do have some concerns about space clutter... considering what we have going on here on earth, I suppose that seems silly, though.

I have my WiFi routers planted on Mars already, waiting for the red planet to be colonized in 2125!

Sounds cool but catastrophic satellite network failure and crash would be nice to avoid.

1. There could be clear areas in the sky that would be launch windows for space launches. How many airplanes are in the sky at any given time now?

2. So many satellite "internet servers" in the sky would create a lot of redundancy and you could just re-aim your antenna.

This is actually a very workable idea.

Space debris is already a massive problem for satellites, the ISS, and astronauts. I would assume they have taken that into consideration. Either way at one point there will be a lot of shit floating up there.

I highly recommend the Elon Musk bio, google:
Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future

Can't post links yet ^

These are low Earth orbit, so they would be well below the space station for example. If they went bad my guess is their orbit would degrade and burn up on re-entry. These will not be really big satellites.

Just think how nice it will be on earth to see no more cable company (and fewer telephone company) trucks on the road

To be honest, I don't understand which technology will be used to transmit signals from satellites to land-based devices and back.

Launching 4,425 satellites sounds very expensive. Both Iridium and Globalstar went bankrupt at the start of the millennium because of sky-high ambitions. Revenues were minuscule, while operating expenses and interest payments on billions of dollars of debt were enormous.

When SpaceX goes bankrupt too, there's going to be a lot of space trash and it's going to look like the aerial version of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.
