Sounds like cell phone companies are going to take a hit. Now if only we can figure out how to get rid of those ugly windmills!

30 years ago might have been Iridium (satellite phone system) . Motorola spent $4B to send them up. Think they used Chinese technology for some of them. Didn’t make any money & sold the system to some Saudi. Calls were so expensive that only DOD and what’s his name used it.

God put some lights in the sky and man put some lights in the sky. What makes the man-placed lights crap?

That should help in areas with no ground based cellular service. Remote areas and third world countries.That would be me. Looking forward to trying Starlink.

It is now 9:40 pm in WI. Should I really get out of bed to freeze in the yard to try to see this?
Or am I hours too late seeing your post?

Or am I hours too late seeing your post? They have already made an entire orbit and are now crossing the west coast of Africa.

Looks like tomorrow right after sunset is good time to see them.
I will be at work.
Sunrise sounds a tad early..... but really my best option.
Could try Tuesday at sunset, since I will be home that day.
Would be cool to see them, and thanks for the warning.
We do indulge in “Ancient Aliens” here, to see that guy’s wild hair, Georgio Snuffleuppagus..

When will they be operational?
I like in the boonies and my internet sucks bilgewater.

If one of those lights breaks formation and starts heading straight at you—_then_ you have got yourself a UFO. ;-)

“Sounds like cell phone companies are going to take a hit.”
Good... AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint deserve every bit of it for their crooked deceptive business practices.

Iridium wasn’t launched until the mid-1990’s.

Here's one of the train. Just watch for when it passes over you.

So what? Do you think man is lesser in nature? Perverted misanthropy isn’t funny.
