Comment on SpaceX Might Have Lost 200+ Starlink Satellites In Just 2 Months Shows Data
KairuByte@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 year agoIt kinda depends on what we are considering a starlink satellite. They did launch a batch of satellites that experienced some issues, and some of them did come down. Iirc those were new models that were going up for the first time.
That said, I wouldn’t be too concerned about it. Firstly because we are talking about less than a percentage point of the total, and second because once the bugs are ironed out, a different company that isn’t run by a moron will likely step in to do a better job.

(200 / 5000) * 100 = 4%

Ah, fair enough. Not sure why I thought there were more in total. In fact I think there may be less than 5k.
