Rocket shortage? Use a SLS!

Yep, launch 1,000 LEO satellites at once! Wait 3-4 years between launches into one orbital shell…

Meanwhile, SpaceX has been putting Starlink v1 and v2 satellites into different orbits 20-60 at a time every couple of days!

Only recent news on the deal is market is discounting echostar this week.

Feeling is , the starlink-xai deal has diluted.the value

Leo is still a pipe dream as the number of satellites they have is very smal and service is not good at all. Of course when its overhead the speeds are great. But until Amazon really gets more satellites up its not going to work well.

Amazon announced it is seeking 2 more years to launch their satellites. So its going to be awhile before LEO works anywhere close to Starlink. Amazon asks FCC for 2-year extension in Leo satellite deployment deadline, citing a rocket shortage

i was also thinking about the network and how many sats are up there and what the coverage would be like!!! i'm sure it would be pretty spotty!!! and once people start flocking over to it there goes the gig speeds as it will get congested!!! though i am curious how it will be priced and the structure of the pricing... i remember elon touting gig speeds moons ago to!!!
