Just 5 years after its first launch, the Starlink constellation is profitable

Starlink's estimated free cash flow this year is about $600 million.

@arstechnica just wait until the 50,000,000 or so pounds of those satellites start deorbiting after their 5 year life expectancy and burning up in earth's upper atmosphere, then we'll see how profitable this is.

@arstechnica It would be ironic if this was the weekend that solar activity knocked them all out of service. lol

@arstechnica don’t forget to account for the massive environmental damage that the public subsidizes.
