@Starlink has come a long way. Many years ago I was a beta tester and those were some times! Today I rip 300+Mbps all day everyday! Best connection ever, even in the middle of nowhere. Much appreciation to the starlink teams!
Also quietly the 700th Falcon 9 launch ever. B1093 just stuck its 18th landing on Of Course I Still Love You like it's a commute, and back in 2015 landing one even once was the whole celebration

I so love the 8m x 18m x 100t cargo solution space. I can do this all day, Steve.
My husband & I live on a farm with our 5-mo baby. Our Starlink was hit by lightning & we’re isolated without internet. Order placed for a new dish, but we don’t know when it arrives. It’s hard out here. @elonmusk@grok please check status for Elaine Custódio Mello 🙏
I just noticed yesterday, after 3 or 4 years, my panel is finally pointing straight up. I am surrounded by 250 ft tall trees, so this is very exciting.
Twenty-seven more satellites up, and the booster will probably be back on a drone ship before most people finish their coffee. Routine is the real flex here.
The quiet part is the replacement cycle. Starlink sats only last about five years, so 27 at a time isn't just growth, it's what keeps the network from shrinking.
27 satellites in one go is insane. The fact that Starlink went from beta to covering the whole planet in just a few years is wild. Who else is using it?
