TL;DR Summary

One of the 21 mini-satellites launched by SpaceX for its Starlink system has fallen from orbit and burned up in Earth's atmosphere. The company had anticipated "some issues" with the new technology on the version 2 satellites, and some will be deorbited while others will be tested before raising altitude above the International Space Station's orbit. SpaceX hopes to make a bundle off the tiny craft by charging a premium for Starlink's Global Roaming service, which should allow RV users to receive and use internet service while in motion.
