Starlink service scheduled for South Korea later this year
SpaceX will begin offering Starlink service in South Korea by the spring of this year.
The article, from a South Korea news outlet, is generally negative about Starlink’s possibilities, mostly because its cost is much higher than that already available with coverage that includes 80% of the country. Nonetheless, Starlink will still be an option to those regions not yet served.

Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. Your support allows me the freedom and ability to analyze objectively the ongoing renaissance in space, as well as the cultural changes -- for good or ill -- that are happening across America. Fourteen years ago I wrote that SLS and Orion were a bad ideas, a waste of money, would be years behind schedule, and better replaced by commercial private enterprise. Only now does it appear that Washington might finally recognize this reality.
In 2020 when the world panicked over COVID I wrote that the panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Only in the past year have some of our so-called experts in the health field have begun to recognize these facts.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

South Korea is just thaaaaaaaat close to north Korea,
Now if we can just sneak a few dishes into NK.
John Kerry mentioned SpaceX in a WEF speech that they will use SpaceX ???
“We modelled it somewhat on the experience on what happened with vaccines, the government said ‘we’ll pay for it, build it,’ and the same thing with SpaceX, if you build it we are going to use it and we’ll pay for it.
“People who were putting capital at risk knew that they could get a return on that capital or at least cover their expenses in the case of something like vaccines, where human life was so at risk. Well, human life is at risk now in the context of the challenges of the global climate crisis,” Kerry warned”
Human life is at risk… Therefore you need to sacrifice your cars, meat, heating and cooling your homes… all to prevent 1 1/2° global warming from CO2 which will destroy the world…. NOT!
We have “saved the world” before using this method of thought and logic, was not the world saved by throwing virgins in volcanoes? Sacrificing their first born to beelzebub? Burning witches? And let’s not forget the great sacrifice that we owe to the Aztecs and Mayans for 1000 years sacrificing their slaves so that the sun would come up every day! They did their part to save the world, now it’s our turn…
What/who are you willing to sacrifice? (and you thought sacrificing the world economy by shutting down was enough… Just the beginning!) as the world economy collapses, life savings evaporating, property rights as well as personal rights including the right to your own body are going away… (If you do not own your own body, you own nothing….) and you’ll be made to praise your masters for your happiness… Big brother AI is watching you.
