You don't need starlink to get a message out of Puerto Rico.

We also don't need starlink as a stepping stone.

What we need is food for the planet, resiliance infrastructure, proper health care, stable energy grids.

I sure hope you never have to wonder if your relatives are safe and doing well after they have no way to communicate with you for weeks.

		1. to keep this argument properly, you still need to see what the overall benefit for the whole society is and not just your little bubble. And putting a lot of satelites in sky, affects 8 billion people. 2. As i said, robust infrastructure would fix that too. Fiber under earth, backup energy etc.
