How many satellites is a lot? Maybe 100, maybe more. Well, SpaceX is sending a whopping 60 satellites for a total of 482. Their main goal is to provide internet to everyone, everywhere. There is a almost non-existent chance of failure.
First, SpaceX is incredibly rich. They have a estimated networth of over 20 billion dollars. They have the best equipment and top-notch gear. They have to be very prepared as well, because they have already launched 400, and all those went remarkably well. Based on data, estimates, and reputation, we can safetly assume SpaceX is well prepared and the launch has a low failure chance because of it.
Next, you may think that satellites will block the view and ruin stargazing, but this is very untrue. The satellites will be pretty small. Also, they will be decently spear out. Another factor is that you are only going to see half, if not less of the total satellites. This is because Musk is giving global internet coverage, meaning some will be on the other side of the Earth out of your view. There are almost no downsides, meaning this launch will have a lot of support.
Lastly, there are so many benefits of internet globally available. For example, if someone gets lost in the woods, they can find their way via maps. Or, more impoverished areas with poorer people can still enjoy high speed quality internet. This relates back to the second reason. There are many benefits, therefore there will be much support.
In conclusion, the launch has a high success rate. This is because SpaceX is very good at preparing and already has a lot of experience launching satellites. Also, there is not much of a reason not to, as it will not affect much of the view of the sky. Lastly, there are many benefits, and there should be much support of the launch. This launch will succeed.
