I candidly thought it wasn’t possible to block Starlink.
I guess with motivated actors anything is possible.

It's fairly trivial to set up a transmitter that saturates a slice of spectrum at an amount of power that is ridiculous compared to a satellite signal. There are still AM radio stations operating that go as high as 50kW. The satellite transmitters aren't going to exceed maybe a hundred Watts, at a great distance, and that falls off at 1/(distance)^2.
Jamming RF is easy in general. Nowadays we can even do beamforming so i guess it would be trivial.
Jamming on such a large scale is expensive, but it's hardly impossible.
It was a small, triangular ship that blasted big asteroids, which in turn spun off and collided with other asteroids…
