Why not just build some very large/tall high-power towers?
no, try doing in the middle of the ocean, and if that was cheap on land, it would already have been done, there where even subsidy to do that in most countries

What’s the benefit of satellite internet?
ppl where willing to pay >10X more for >10X lower data.
Think having boats to get actual current weather information, or being to able to call for help on places where there is no connection.

> Can you estimate the total co2 emissions per sattelite and per user?
That needs a definition about user/time, so it is harder to do

Per satelite is amount of sats/launches. its not perfect, but gives a reasonable answer.
average seems to be 2Kton, 1.3Kton to 4Kton as low/high

> How many launches does it take total? 210 till now, which i used for calculations above, how,
to many variables i dare to give launches needed till 12k

@threelonmusketeers @masterofn001 is it possible to calculate which percentage of the satellites are actual usual ?
