Ask HN: Did Google/Alphabet ever try to build a Starlink?

Seems like something like Starlink would have come out of Google/Alphabet, at least at first blush. They did have Project Loon (internet access via big balloons) and talked about space tethers/elevators. Seems like a natural idea for (early) Google. Any insights into why nothing like it happened?
