They need 12,000 of them, which isn't a huge amount considering you're covering the entire globe.
Per year, forever. Hence infinite rockets with infinite cell towers.
The typical lifespan is 5-7 years, so 2400 per year at worst.
You don't really do math, do you?
It's one year. Their goal is 5 years, but it's one year because they haven't hit their goal. Starlink hasn't even been active for five years yet. This is embarrassing for you.
What are you talking about?
They fall out of the sky in one year. Their stated goal is five. They fall out of the sky after one year.
Source?
Oh I think you'll have to go provide your source for the 5-7 years when they have only been launching for four and they come down after a year first, I mean you can go Google up what I said, they don't hide it, but where's your unfounded, wrong, illogical claim backed by?
You're making the claim, you back it up.
No u did first!!!!!!!!?!?!?!!!
