Wisconsin Police Tell Residents "Do Not Call 911" When Starlink Satellite Train Passes By





The Outagamie County Sheriff's office told residents of Appleton, a city just north of Lake Winnebago, to avoid calling the police when a train of lights appears in the night sky because they're just satellites.

"We have seen a lot of questions about the long strings of lights appearing in the night sky lately. These lights are satellites, and are part of a new internet service called, Starlink. Starlink provides internet to rural and typically hard-to-service areas,"

Elon Musk Has an Amazing Message for Anyone Who Wants to Censor His Starlink Internet


Elon Musk is building his satellite-based Starlink service, but he paused launches until some new spacecraft are ready. Quarts reports that those spacecraft give Starlink a new capability — the ability to bypass the ground stations that Starlink currently depends on.

Starlink users need to be within several hundred miles of a ground station that is plugged into the internet, so the satellites can relay data back and forth between them. SpaceX is not going to be able to set up these stations in authoritarian countries, or likely many of their neighbors.

That's not just a technical issue, it's also a regulatory and censorship issue. For instance, Afghanistan's internet and smartphone access went from near zero to about 90% during the war that Joe Biden just threw away. The Taliban are heavy into censorship and are expected to clamp down very hard on free speech. That's easier to do against conventional, terrestrial internet service. But Musk's Starlink with its laser system may be able to elude Taliban censorship.

If it works, the satellites will be able to link directly to each other more efficiently. That, in turn, means that instead of needing a ground station a few hundred miles away, a user could have their data sent back and forth through the Starlink network to a ground station anywhere.

"Lasers [sic] links alleviate ground station constraints, so data can go from say Sydney to London through space, which is ~40% faster speed of light than fiber & shorter path," Musk tweeted.

That tweet prompted some questions about regulation by governments on the ground. Musk launched the perfect response.

Very few anymore. I can start doing online gaming again, after nearly 2 decades of nothing but lag via Viasat.
I haven't tried yet, but I may soon. Video streams just fine now.

If they'd let us, we could buffer the entire 30 min. show in 20 seconds or less.

Well, Miley appears to have usurped NASA by giving Afghanistan via Iran millions in new weaponry.
So what do we do with NASA now?
