Suppose the US and China get into a direct conflict. How does the US having a 10x advantage in the number of traditional arms vs only, say, 2x stop China from threatening to obliterate humanity with nukes the minute their leadership is facing an existential crisis?
Given that, you can't think of a single scenario where having multiple floating runways would possibly benefit wartime?
Imagine a world where anyone can get unfettered internet access. Instead of the great Firewall of China, citizens can just access a starlink satellite. How does that help with spreading democractic ideals? How does protesting and information dissemination look different? What if citizens in Iran, Middle East, Myanmar, etc. could all do the same thing?
I hope Starlink is thinking about these Big questions.
It doesn't seem like a very promising route for bypassing authoritarian government restrictions on the Internet.
