    Oh man, now look at what you’ve done. Attracted a Mod like a moth to a flood light :rofl:

    BS, you bet :thumbsup:. That’s why it’s in the thread title.

    I have to say @ColoradoTJ is a cool dude and we have conversed previously and have respect but if you throw a GIF in a thread you haven’t been a part of previously, you roll the dice for a little flaming and poking.

    I did “Like” his gif post by the way.

    but at my age, I don’t fear disappoint anymore.

    WTF, this time I mean you Ed :D

    What you talking about? I would hope @ColoradoTJ and his colleagues would reply ban any asshole who’d be fixing to lock this thread.

    I know Elon says it won't be ideal for densely populated areas until they get more sats up there but I'm tempted to get it even though I'm in the city.

    First come, first serve. Best to sign up now esp. since they’re signing folks up all over the globe.

    Starlink does have a capacity limit.

    Hi Bob. I promise I am not trying to be difficult.

    But I do wholeheartedly Believe Elon’s Internet pipe dream has legitimate use and I have the hardware to prove it Tomorrow!!!

    I’m now really sorry @PzTank thank this thread has gotten the attention it has. Wasn’t my intention.

    Nobodies been banned. This isn't "attention" it's just mods and the site admin bullshitting.

    I'm still patiently waiting for Starlink to ship my kit. "Mid to late 2021" was the estimated time when I got the sign-up email and confirmation in Feb. I'm hoping it's mid. lol

    How about another legitimate use of Starlink. Turning some of the satellites around to point to the new constellation around Mars.

    Mars is gonna get its own Marslink.

    Why wait on developing space junk around a new planet?

    Expect SpaceX to figure out FTL communications - folks on either planet won’t tolerate the 3 -22 minute lag :D

    Exactly. One would think the USA might have a wee bit of priority, but I supoose money is still the latest greatest motivator.
