, while you try to colonize Mars — Russia try to occupy Ukraine! While your rockets successfully land from space — Russian rockets attack Ukrainian civil people! We ask you to provide Ukraine with Starlink stations and to address sane Russians to stand.

It means satellite internet service. I plan on moving out into the sticks and using it for internet service. The sending receiving box cost $500 now but it should fall quickly being just another box of electronics.

Once fully operational, Starlink could allow the free flow of information into countries like China and North Korea.

“Well, I wouldn’t want to piss off the Russians.”

That’s what I’m thinking, once they’re used against Russia, they become fair game, and Russia does have some toys that might make life difficult for Elon.

I like Elon but for his stake and because of what he is doing with SpaceX, yeah he needs to be careful.

Go Elon Musk. One of the most interesting and productive persons I can think of. Eccentric but brilliant and right on many large issues of late. Plus he got the heck out of CA. This ought to tick off the Biden regime.

Do you live in a rural area?

Also once you have the service up and running can you just take the box wherever and it still works or are you locked into a Geo location?

It means fast internet service that Putin cannot interrupt.

Musk might want to beef up his personal security.
