No orbital launch provider but SpaceX has ever put even 1,000 satellites in orbit; SpaceX has launched >11,000. What has
said about this unprecedented accomplishment? “It’s a good start.”
If 11,000 is just a good start, what does a finished orbit look like when Starlink targets a final constellation of 42,000?
SpaceX is operating in a completely different league
SpaceX has almost double the active satellites of every other country, mega-corp, and competitor on Earth put together
With more than 10,200 active satellites, SpaceX is building the ultimate global internet backbone and they did it all in less than a decade
And the craziest part is: apart from just launching, SpaceX is practically running space traffic control. They track everything in orbit, operate an automated collision avoidance system for thousands of satellites, and share the data live for everyone to access
The gap between SpaceX and the rest of the world is widening every single week
And all of this is just the pre-game. The real show hasn’t even started yet
