SpaceX created a swarm of about a thousand satellites that is circulating about 340 miles overhead, and building the constellation has put SpaceX in a "deep chasm" of expenses, according to CEO Elon Musk.

But for some early customers of the $99-per-month Starlink service, the satellites are already improving how rural communities access the internet.
The whole point of space force is to ensure that American companies can put as much junk into orbit without anyone else being able to do anything about it.
