How does the company stay afloat when they’re constantly replacing satellites? The money, the logistics, and most of all, the materials. What a waste.
Because they launch them in large batches using a reusable rocket, so it doesn’t actually cost much. They did work out the economics of Starlink before they started building the system.
When they worked out those details they also thought they would have 20,000,000 subscribers before now and not just 2,000,000
They are nevertheless already profitable, and they haven’t even begun using Starship to launch satellites yet.
All that sweet gov’t funding doesn’t hurt the bottom line.
There are government users among their customers, yes. Customers are customers. Is this supposed to be a negative?
