"Starlink, SpaceX’s plan to serve internet via tens of thousands of
satellites, is a staple in the space press, with articles appearing
every week on the latest developments. The broad schema is clear and,
thanks to filings with the FCC, a sufficiently well motivated individual
(such as your humble servant) can deduce a great deal of detail. Despite
this, there is still an unusually high degree of confusion around this
new technology, even among expert commentators. It is not uncommon to
read articles comparing Starlink to OneWeb and Kuiper (among others), as
though they were all equal competitors. It is not uncommon to read of
well-meaning concerns regarding space junk, space law, regulation, and
harm to astronomy. It is my hope that by the end of this rather lengthy
post, the reader will be both better informed and more excited by Starlink."
