only musk can save datacenters from reaches of earths governments.
by transporting every cargo to USA for thorough inspection before flight.
Isn't the cost of taking down a satellite lower than putting it up?
The problem would be all the debris up there. Maybe destroying one satellite would destroy them all.

Probably not for Starlink. You’ve got mass-manufactured satellites in a constellation launched on a reüsable, profitable platform on one hand. And on the other hand you have experimental expendable ASAT weapons.
How much does it cost to launch ball bearings into an intersecting orbit? They are even cheaper to mass-manufacture.
The anti-satellite side has a budget hundreds to thousands of times cheaper, based on average ball bearings to satellite density in orbit, with a decent spread and multiple orbit intersections per day.
Is not changing BGP route cheaper than taking down a satanlite ? Sorry, satellite.
It was always stupid, because that is not how laws work.
