Two years ago I said Starship could start putting Starlinks up before SpaceX recovered a single ship. Flight 14 last month did just that: first orbital flight, all 26 V3s deployed and contacted, and the ship splashed down in the Pacific with no recovery planned.

And @SpaceX can start deploying them now as orbit will be pretty reliable even if they don't recover them on landing. The advantage of having a rapid build process 馃殌馃殌馃殌馃檪
