Ships don’t need infinite rockets full of infinite cell towers launched forever.
Maybe when we have fusion power and don’t have to waste the resources. We don’t. We have to choose what we want to use. I say that launching infinite rockets with infinite cell towers forever is not worth being able to watch tiktok in the middle of the Atlantic.
There’s always actual satellite internet for the needed communications.
Maybe we should just wait for the subsidies and the investor money that’s actually paying for starlink to run out and see where things quite literally fall.
They need 12,000 of them, which isn’t a huge amount considering you’re covering the entire globe.
Per year, forever. Hence infinite rockets with infinite cell towers.
The typical lifespan is 5-7 years, so 2400 per year at worst.
