It amazes me we have thousands of satellites in orbit and apparently this is the first time people are seeing them. How are these Starlink satellites suppose to provide internet service when they are whizzing by so quickly?

starlink satellites are in very low orbit to help keep latency down unlike prior options.

being that low it is just a matter of time until earths gravity draws them in. wonder when that will be and will they fall in populated areas? Can people sue if hit by them? Are they insured for personal injury and property damage?

Latency won't really be an issue if you only have access to the satelite for several minutes. At least Google's balloons are in a relatively stationary position.
