    True, as reliable as an Elon “5 years” you think?

    Fact Check: SpaceX claims its satellites will only last 5 years then deorbit, is this realistic and how is it cost effective to keep repl...

    Answer (1 of 5): Don’t know about the 5 years to deorbit, but it doesn’t seem to be very controversial. Maybe somebody genuinely science-y can address that, but… Is it cost effective?
