There are supposedly 4500 satellites in space but only 1500 belong to Elon Musk. A solar flare occurs, randomly knocking out all satellites in a large area -- 40 satellites in total. Somehow all 40 of them belong to Elon Musk. Please tell me how that is supposed to work.
Starlink satellites are launched in batches to a suborbital single launch. then the Starlinks individually go to an assigned higher orbit.. I'm not a rocket scientist, but I've been around since before Sputnik... and paid attention... 🤔

They were in a pre-orbit hold, the staff tried to get em out into orbit but the sunfart was too fast.
I want to read science books that have sunfarts in it :)
I think the Hitchhikers Guide has the lock on that... 😁
The most important advice is to always bring your towel
What exactly is a pre-orbit hold? If I understand right, you're saying they were launching all 40 rockets in the same area at the same time?

appreciate the explanation!
