I wonder if this also means future astronauts will have wifi when launching to moon/mars. Imagine watching watching a movie while taking off to somewhere distant
Like large planes on long distance routes (at least) have shown films for decades, and we watched films from discs or cassettes at home before broadband internet.
Starlink antennas only aim downward so no it can't even be used to talk to other satellites/spacecraft, let alone the moon. Though there are planned tests to try to link to the network via the laser connections, but that would require being relatively nearby, at least with the current design.
Also even if it was facing upwards, the entire reason why they're using LEO satellites is to get low latency to get network performance similar to what you get with terrestrial service. If you're far away from the Earth then none of that is true.
Shhh. Local storage is a secret. The modern internet economy is based on profiting from "on demand" content delivered over a connection that can be monitized... and cut off for non-payment. Privately-hosted content like CDs or hard drives will soon be outlawed. Buy a NAS now while ypu still can.
