<<для скорости "в 10 раз" надо не 12 тысяч, а 42 (на мусорной орбите 350-550 км, на заявляемые ранее 1150, видимо, военные не пустили - это минимальная высота уже для серьёзных спутников, с хорошим покрытием и контролем "нижних", да и плюс там и цены, и технологии совсем другие уже)>>In November 2018, SpaceX received US regulatory approval to deploy 7,518 broadband satellites, in addition to the 4,425 approved earlier. SpaceX's initial 4,425 satellites had been requested in the 2016 regulatory filings to orbit at altitudes of 1,110-kilometer (690 mi) to 1,325-kilometer (823 mi), well above the International Space Station. The new approval was for the addition of a very-low Earth orbit non-geostationary satellite orbit constellation, consisting of 7,518 satellites operating at altitudes from 335-kilometer (208 mi) to 346-kilometer (215 mi), below the ISS.[36] Also in November, SpaceX made new regulatory filings with the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to request the ability to alter its previously granted license in order to operate approximately 1,600 of the 4,425 Ka-/ Ku-band satellites approved for operation at 1,150 km (710 mi) in a "new lower shell of the constellation" at only 550 km (340 mi) orbital altitude.[37][38] These satellites would effectively operate in a third orbital shell, a 550-kilometer (340 mi) orbit, while the higher and lower orbits at approximately 1,200-kilometer (750 mi) and approximately 340-kilometer (210 mi) would be used only later, once a considerably larger deployment of satellites becomes possible in the later years of the deployment process. The FCC approved the request in April 2019, giving approval to place nearly 12,000 satellites in three orbital shells: initially approximately 1,600 in a 550-kilometer (340 mi)-altitude shell, and subsequently placing approximately 2,800 Ku- and Ka-band spectrum satellites at 1,150 km (710 mi) and approximately 7,500 V-band satellites at 340 km (210 mi).[8]так что все "пустил". Заявленная необходимость для полного покрытыя - 12 000. где вы видите 42? ну а к Тесле - оборот в 2018 был 21 млрд. у группы БМВ для сравнения - 98 млрд. В 2019 продажи выросли на 50%. 3 новых модели на старте. Новый завод в Китае . 2% автомобильного рынка США в 18 году.
