Goodness, what brought that on?
I see so many grandparents raising their grandchildren and even their great-grandchildren.
A sad fact in America today.

To clarify on the Starlink issue: The Ukrains THOUGHT coverage was enabled all the way to Crimea, but it was not.
They asked Musk to enable it for Their drone sub attack on Russia fleet.
Musk did not enable it, because he thought, probably correctly, that would cause a major war.

Much appreciated Walter.
The onus is meaningfully different if I refused to act upon a request from Ukraine vs. made a deliberate change to Starlink to thwart Ukraine.
At no point did I or anyone at SpaceX promise coverage over Crimea. Moverover, our term of service clearly prohibit Starlink for offensive military action, as we are a civilian system, so they were again asking for something that was expressly prohibited.
SpaceX is building Starshield for the US Government, which is similar to, but much smaller than Starlink, as it will not have to handle millions of users. That system will be owned and controlled by the US Government.
