  With a market potential of $30B / year, according to Elon. Starlink exists to fund Starship because launch revenues are not sufficient.

    And to really make Starlink profitable, they need to launch it with Starship. Funny how it all comes around.

      One of the reasons Musk is a genius is he can figure out these sorts of synergies.

  I didn't have any idea of the scale of things already in place. Why doesn't this get more press? (besides this article)

    Unlike other SpaceX projects, SpaceX has been more quite about this, but fans new it was coming for a long time. However now that they start to show of ground systems and actually launch, you see more and more news about it come out. I think once they start to roll it out to beta testers who are allowed to talk about it, you will see a much more.
