You’re welcome. I’ve been trying to figure out how they’re going to form network paths with the system, since the satellite to satellite optical links aren’t happening anytime soon. If they’re going to have to do the up-down-up-down thing with tons of ground stations… Is that really going to add only trivial amounts of jitter??? Hmm.
Anyway, next Starlink launch attempt is on Monday (Florida time).
