SpaceX Starlink vs Project Kuiper

[@jcristina]

It's official, Project Kuiper has stumbled yet again! At the beginning of 2024, I said that there was absolutely no way bozos would have a commercially viable product before the end of 2024, as he indicated, and it looks like I was right. (It happens!) Amazon provided additional guidance and today we discussed it. Questions for you: Can Jeff Bezos's Project Kuiper compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX Starlink? Do you think Project Kuiper can make the FCC deadline? If Project Kuiper doesn't fail, what year would it be competition to Starlink? Should Jeff Bezos pull the plug on Project Kuiper?

So, what happened to the always on time Amazon delivery service,...JEFF? When can I expect my package?🤣

[@jcristina]

😂 sh11T now my Prime for $150 a year is delivery crap sometime 2-3 days out or more when it use to be overnight.

[@TheyRiseBand]

There is really no competition, in rural areas. I sold another Starlink terminal (I think) to a neighbor. He has fixed wireless and said it sucks, inquired about the Starlink dish outside of my place. I spread the good word!

[@gstar7686]

There is no competition. Too little and too late for Project Kuiper.

[@johngammell4180]

nice job,Joe

[@joebocsy4240]

Bozo filed a request that SpaceX heavy launches from Cape Canaveral be LIMITED for POSSIBLE UNKNOWN ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS. Buying time

Woohoo! Close to 100K! 👍

[@jcristina]

Can’t believe it.

[@andyruszin4374]

I’m a competitor to SpaceX. I’m getting my order of Estes rockets and running tests. I’m sure I can compete just like Jeff. I can’t believe anyone calls Jeff a competitor 😂

[@marcusw86]

I agree. Musk has always been a tech guy, and Jeff Bezos was a wear housing or logistics guy.. I’d also like to say, that I believe musk also hires a team that’s very technical, and is not being directed by investors?

[@tootallsteve1]

You are totally correct that Kuiper will not succeed bozos ego will get in the way. It is sad that he cant get out of his own way. When Spacex gets Starship fully functional ,they will all have to use Spacex. As far as Jeff falling into making Amazon the mega store that it is, he was just in the right place at the right time. Tower Records had the opportunity to become the first mega store but passed. I'll tell you the story sometime . Your analysis was spot on. Hope you and the bride have a great 4th.

[@9217666]

[@ufmwc]

Bezos is an absolute clownbag. Dude’s trying to throw up all kinds of roadblocks for SpaceX building out 39A/39B in FL while simultaneously using SpaceX/ULA to get their sats into space🙄. I no longer view Starship progress in terms of merely Starlink advancement. To me it’s about leading the entire world’s space industry into the next generation. SpaceX has already lapped Boeing and others in a short amount of time. Which is awesome but sad at the same time because the US used to be mighty in this way. I believe America needs SpaceX to be successful if only for technological advancements they are developing and pushing their competitors to improve their processes and get better.

[@Zulonix]

Project Kuiper will rival StarLink… in the year 3,500.

[@prmurray9501]

🤣

[@ubilinknetworks]

is really enoghIs there really enough space for more satellites besides Starlink and OneWeb? What news is there regarding the OneWeb service? Is it only for companies or institutions?

[@honeybadgers1996]

Sounds like Mr. bozo got hold of things more than he can chew. I’ve mentioned this before but I’m going to say it again that he should have stayed as a salesman which he does very good at and leave the engineering stuff to the real engineers. Good video, Joe. Thanks for sharing👍

[@fighterplane2023]

Good job tnx from iraq❤

[@IronBeagle]

I don’t think Amazon makes money on the store, just on the computing infrastructure that supports the store AWS. So even his core idea failed.

[@dominicm2175]

Wouldn’t that be incredible if Starship was used to get all those satellites in orbit before the deadline

[@jcristina]

Yes yes yes. That would be awesome.

[@bryanhood9839]

What if Elon says no?

[@youtubechannels9205]

​@@bryanhood9839 Elon will say yes, as Jeff is bending over!

[@brettd3206]

@@bryanhood9839 Elon should charge Bozo at least 10x the cost of launches to cover attorney fees over the years.

[@tomsheridan989]

How does the size of a Kuiper satellite compare to a current Starlink satellite?

[@jcristina]

That’s a really good question. Nice to research

[@tomsheridan989]

At first look, Kuiper satellites appear to be 2 to 3 times heavier than Starlink.

[@joetodd8048]

We’re here but busy have a good fourth Joe, Tennessee

[@stevenlewis7669]

Does starlink have a wifi router? Wifi-6? WIFI-7?

[@snakevenom4954]

I'm going to play Devil's Advocate here since it seems like no one else is. It does not matter how many satellites you have in orbit. What matters how good those satellites are. If one Kuiper satellite is as good as 1,000 Starlink satellites (they aren't. Just using this as an example), then after 7 satellites, Kuiper is in the lead with capability. Not availability but I'm playing the role as advocate here. Bezos is not an idiot either. If he was, he would've attempted to make a Falcon 9 competitor, which New Glenn is not. New Glenn aims to be a cheaper Falcon Heavy which is doable. He's also decently knowledgeable on Spaceflight. His interview with Lex Fridman shows that. Not as much as Elon is, but Elon is a 1 in a billion type of person. He essentially is trying to be his own customer which would help Blue Origins vastly. Make it profitable for once and some deep profits at that. As for the deadline, that's another story. If he's able to build several New Glenns and reuse them, he may be able to reach the deadline. Some basic math tells me he can launch 56 Kuiper Satellites per launch. In reality it would be less since the 45t of estimated payload for New Glenn comes from it's expendable capabilities which Blue Origins does not intend to pursue. I will do the math and come back in an hour with the proper numbers for this rocket

[@r.a.monigold9789]

Did Little Jeffry "B" name his spaceship company - Blue Organ... because when it comes to his spacecraft he can't get it up?

[@jcristina]

😝

[@daveh5605]

Competition maybe in my lifetime....haha Bezos talks a good story and Hughes net begs for the unwitting customer. What a circus.

[@bryanhood9839]

They would have to launch 66 satellites every month for the next 24 months to get the required 1600 or so in orbit by the deadline, that's assuming they can manufacture them that fast; I wonder how many satellites they can launch on ULA's rockets at one time and how much each launch would cost? Seems cost prohibitive and logistically impossible at this point; If New Glenn was operational maybe, but that doesn't look likely either any time soon

[@nicholaspappas9712]

Not a chance

[@jcristina]

Agree

[@donaldhiles_k9sgz428]

[@felaxchow207]

Staying out of the love or hate Elon politics. Just my opinion as a paying customer, I would love to see my monthly service in the sub $100 price point and competition would definitely help with that. With the current rate for fixed location residential service averages out to $4 per day (not including hardware of course ;-). My Starbuck coffee fix was way more than that plus sales tax, now I make my coffee at home and no longer have to commute 20 miles one-way to work savings is more than $4 per day to cover the cost of my internet service. I can say that they've been steadily improving speeds of 150+ down and 20 up during Netflix hour. In some of my download logs for my video podcasts 1920 x 1080 at least 2 hours in length that are scheduled for after 0200 hours EST, I've been clocking speeds in excess of 300 Mbps transfer rate per file. Wanting Project Kuiper to succeed, but right now they'll need to offer something really impressive like symmetrical gigabit connection on a 12 x 12 inch dish out of the gate. :-p

[@francocastilloAR]

They would have to launch more than 2 satellites per day for the next 24 months to reach 1600.

[@GlenKowalchuk]

The only way Jeffy will get any satellites in orbit is if he phones Kimmy and rents some of his rockets. Kimmy needs lots of money and likes to fire off his fireworks over Japan. Maybe Jeffy will phone Kimmy.

[@MrFuentepj]

The screenshot of Bozo really shows his narcissistic side of him.

[@jcristina]

🤦🏻‍♂️

[@dominicm2175]

A ‘ smart’ Bezos would just invest in SpaceX and combine forces…..seems like it’s too little to late at this point

[@jcristina]

Never forget about the MegaChip in the shoulder that Billionaires have.

I don't dislike them, however, they are quite underwhelming.

[@welchandsonfarm]

525 shares of amazon per satellite and 5000 shares per launch should be a good starting point ma have to up the share numbers depending on the stock price at the day of the contract and launch Elon would have a major foothold in whole foods and amazon

[@guyburleson8918]

I kinda get the feeling you dont like Jeff....lmao....Me either!!!

[@mickeyd306]

Project Kuiper delays shouldn't be a reason for cheering. Competition is important to lower costs and help innovation. One company which is has a monopoly is space based internet is not ideal. Starlink is awesome, but they need competition.

[@josejiga5759]

Right! but in the meantime there is only one dominant and necessary player.

[@dlbrooks2658]

[@argasyargasy2366]

To be fare, Musk wasn't a rocket scientist aswell when he began. He taught him self through self learning. Its not that Bezos will never get to that level, it just takes a lot of time, effort and dedication.

[@joeycastillo3352]

JCristina I agree project bozo cant make it.

[@mukamuka0]

I think Kuiper is delayed because Starlink keep putting more feature in and Bezos want to match that.

It is not Elon's goal to dominate. He has demonstrated he has the good of humanity in mind. He opens up patents. He encourages other to join the cause. And, obviously, he has no worries about competition because he's so far ahead.

[@pageriskin8743]

Difference between Musk and Bezos - Musk, worth tons and tons of money knows what he is doing and has the education and skills to do what he does. Musk is driven, works amazingly long hours and has endless energy. Bezos lucked into making lots of money. He has no physics or engineering education/skills. Spends lots of time spending his money and hanging out on his yacht. He thinks his money can buy the people to develop and run a space company, but he, himself, does not spend the long hours to make it work. No wonder the only thing Bezos can do is try to slow down Musk with lawsuits. Musk is brilliant, Bezos is an idiot.
