Elon Musk Just MADE A HUGE MISTAKE With Gen2 Starlinks!

The massive Gen2 satellites will require the Starship heavy-lift rocket to launch. Starlink, Elon Musk's rocket company SpaceX's satellite internet division, has developed a second generation of low-Earth orbit satellites. However, they are currently too large to launch. What will happen next? Let’s find out!

And let’s get started!

The Gen2 satellite is much larger than the more than 2,500 Starlink satellites that are currently orbiting 340 miles above the Earth's surface. The SpaceX CEO stated late last week on the YouTube show Everyday Astronaut that Gen2 satellites are 22 feet long and weigh 2,755 pounds.

In comparison, first-generation satellites weigh 573 pounds, or about one-fifth the weight of Gen2.
"A lot of people talk a lot about how many launches to orbit there are per year, but I think what really matters is what is the total useful payload to orbit per year," Musk said. "Because otherwise, you'd be comparing a dinghy to a supertanker if these were ocean ships."

SpaceX will need to prepare its Starship heavy-lift rocket to launch the much heavier Gen2 satellites into orbit. The Starship is the most powerful rocket ever constructed. It consists of two stages: a Super Heavy first-stage booster and a Starship upper-stage booster. The US Federal Aviation Administration is conducting an environmental review of the reusable Starship rocket and on Tuesday extended its self-imposed deadline by two weeks, implying that the final report will be released in mid-June.

SpaceX's progress on Gen2 demonstrates how far Starlink has progressed in comparison to its competitors. Amazon's Project Kuiper is still in the works. OneWeb, a satellite internet constellation owned in part by the UK government, has 428 satellites in orbit at a higher altitude of 750 miles. Telesat of Canada has 188 LEO satellites in orbit but is experiencing production delays.

Starlink has already brought high-speed internet to many rural communities that were previously inaccessible to broadband. With the assistance of the US government, Starlink has been able to provide internet access to 150,000 Ukrainians in the midst of a war.

Starlink service is becoming increasingly popular in various parts of the world. According to speed testing website Ookla, Starlink provided 100 Mbps speeds to 15 additional countries in the fourth quarter of last year. Counties that have not approved Starlink, such as Pakistan, are seeing requests for the service on Twitter.

According to Musk, Gen2 satellites are "almost an order of magnitude" more powerful than first-generation units. According to a SpaceX FCC filing, the newer Gen2 satellites will "complement the first-generation constellation" currently in orbit rather than replace it.

Some Chinese researchers are concerned about Starlink's rapid progress. Musk's satellite constellation poses such a national security risk that recommendations have been made to either disable or destroy SpaceX's satellites. According to Chinese researchers, Starlink could increase data transmission speeds by more than 100 times for US military drones and stealth fighter jets.

NASA has expressed concern about Starlink's proposed 42,000-satellite constellation, claiming that it will result in a "significant increase in the frequency of conjunction events and possible impacts to NASA's science and human spaceflight missions."
