starlink proyect

today I would like to talk about a news story that I saw about the project "Starlink" of the company Space X, in summary this project what is proposed is to place a kind of satellite "network" around the planet which will give satellite internet anywhere in the world. The proposal of this project may sound very innovative and exciting, but there are a number of details that many people overlook.

To start the number of satellites to be put into circulation is colossal, as more than 42,000 working satellites are expected to have a total , this is a significant number since most satellite constellations of other companies only have a few dozen satellites running.

But how can this affect us?

for one of the biggest drawbacks would be the interference of these satellites in the night sky, everyone ever looking up at the sky we've seen some satellite pass, usually these go unnoticed or don't have much impact, but with thousands of satellites passing the beautiful view of the night sky could be ruined. This can also have a worse impact on observatories as with so many satellites turning the quality of the images it can be affected and many investigations could be ruined or delayed.

there are many questions about how viable this project could become and maybe this one is too ambitious, there are other problems that are also present, such as the detection of asteroids that could be a danger, or the issue of space junk, and although Elon Elon Musk has said he has all these problems planned, it's a little hard to know for sure.

Has anyone heard of this subject?
