140+ Falcon 9 flights this year.
Each Starship Starlink launch delivers the same bandwidth as 10 Falcon 9s.
Once Starship hits weekly cadence, the entire constellation buildout shifts over and a whole new era of launch capacity opens up.
700 Falcon 9 launches and a booster on its 18th flight, and they make it look routine. Every batch of Starlinks makes the dish at my house a little better.
Sir not only are you ruining our way of voting in Congress and presidents…again. You are the number one polluter of the world and you’re about to take what’s left of the rain forest which gives us 1/5th of the worlds oxygen. Nice carbon footprint “bro”
What about particles from re-entering @Starlink satellites that interact with and potentially deplete the ozone layer?
"..researches shows a typical ~250 kg satellite generates about 30 kg of aluminum oxide nanoparticles"

That made it the 700th Falcon 9 launch. Booster B1093 was on its 18th flight and landed on Of Course I Still Love You about 8.5 minutes after liftoff, per Spaceflight Now.
