Elon Musk, SpaceX Starlink, ambitious goal for spaced based global satellites approved for lower orbit.
As the title says;

The FCC has cleared an ambitious, contested SpaceX endeavor (plan) to launch multiple low orbit satellites for global high speed internet using Falcon Heavy's as early as next month. The ultimate goal is to launch nearly 12000 of these.

You can find more info on it at this link or by doing a Google search. (The initial site I wanted to use content from is banned due to copyright infringement threat.) [link to aviationweek.com (secure)]

Also in case you were wondering more about this high speed spaced based, global internet plan, you can read more below;

SpaceX Starlink: Here’s everything you need to know
[link to www.digitaltrends.com (secure)]

(excerpt)

Here’s a breakdown of what SpaceX Starlink is, and why you should get pumped about it.

In 2015, Musk began probing the FCC about testing a “global broadband” system, and in September of 2017 filed applications for a satellite based broadband network called (you guessed it) Starlink, with the objective of eventually building a low-cost, satellite based broadband network capable of delivering internet access to the entire globe.

More from the second link;

(snip)

The project is expected to cost around $10 billion in total.

The road ahead
To give you a sense of just how formidable a challenge this is, here are some numbers: There are currently only 1,459 satellites currently in orbit around earth, along with 2,600 inactive. SpaceX will need to launch 4,425 satellites into orbit to achieve its desired coverage. That’s going to require a lot of rockets, a lot of fuel, and a lot of money. The project is ambitious to say the least, but the payoff will presumably be immense. Imagine having blazing fast internet available all the time, no matter if you’re were in the middle of a crowded city or deep in the Amazonian jungle.

There are a lot a things that come to mind when thinking about this.

Some biblical in nature from scripture and some questions dealing with cost and connectivity and so much more.

is this "simulation" about what they're going to do

Satellites are fake. All Earth communications are ground-based -- fiber optic cable and comm towers.

Musk will cut the cost of the satellites by 90%. He'll launch swarms of small mini satellites with the same power as the big ones. When they burn up on reentry in ten years, or fail, he'll send another 1000 on a single rocket.

Well, according to the article he is going to start launching these sats as early as NEXT MONTH, or did you even read it?
