    He probably does. Each one of those satellites is over two tons. Who
    knows what all the satellites contain.

    Starlink satellites use laser links to relay data links from one to another.

    So, yes , they have lasers, but not at a level that could create problems on the ground.

    They don't admit to having lasers at a level that could create problems
    on the ground....

    The power requirements for such a laser would be prohibitive given
    the size of the starlink birds (500# for first gen, 2000# for second gen;
    only the second-gen has laser-links).
