“The DOD has already contracted SpaceX to put up based on its gen 2 starlink birds a dedicated DOD version for Space Force. Some of the recent classified launches likely contained the initial birds. the last falcon heavy was launched in partially disposable mode they splashed the main booster which means they had enough payload on board to need the extra delta V leaving no fuel for a booster recovery.”
Yes, I have been following Starlink since it started. Some points to consider:
Starlink was government subsidized as part of Space X.
Musk turned over partial control of starlink to the Dod awhile back and most likely other intelligence agencies.
I have been using it now for about eight months and have documented proof that Starlink is manipulating my “user experience” with censoring content and throttling. The DoD and intelligence agencies have already tried to breach my firewall through Starlink three times.
The “coming soon” mobile phone calling and data and tracking system is in place with the birds that are already in the air just waiting for the 5G mobile devices to be implemented.
While musk does throw us a bone now and then appearing to fight against the powers that be, he is already posed to set up the proverbial Skynet system. And he has no choice, if he doesn’t they will take it away from him with false flag reasoning just like this article to do it.
I think he wears a coat of many colors and even though he claims to support the people, he will indeed jump on the opportunity to have this much power and control over the global Skynet system especially if they are paying him with taxpayer’s dollars to do it the way they want him to do it.
I think he is all in despite what he claims.

This is disheartening I have been wanting to do the digital nomad thing as a consultant I am not bound to geography most of the time. As long as I can have a Nord VPN stream at 1.5 Mbps or so I can do my kinda work from anywhere. Less if you don’t need real time telemetry updates to a directional driller somewhere. I could her by with a LAS file for a gamma log and CSV for the directional survey going old.school OpsGeo. Elon just turned on Costa Rica I want to do GeoOps from the beach in the Pacific side my friends own a fishing biz with an AirBnB on site I’m welcome whenever and could bill my clients for the starlink access.
Have you had any troubles with IP6 encrypted streams into and back from a VPN nothing I do is over an open connection ever it’s always to a proxy server. Works great for NFL regional blackouts suck it NFL I’ll just get a proxy in the zip code you allow and stream from there.
I’m one foot in the water on a 15 meter boat for a live aboardI. Pacific side Costa via the Panama Canal would be my first long term port. Interested to hear about your VPN experiences.
