My hunch is that version 1 isn’t quite at the 100msec mark or he would be showing ping tests. Version 2 is the real starlink but it’s not going to be ready for this crucial window. So it’s going to take some FCC finesse to move ahead.

That's the obvious inference, but how is Starlink 1 over 100 ms when their goal is 20 ms?

    That should make latency worse, not better. Right now all traffic goes through just one satellite so it doesn't make sense that latency is so much worse than projected.
