SpaceX has launched enough satellites for Starlink’s upcoming public beta

Have to say I'm amazed at the speed of Starlink deployment. When I first heard about it it seemed similar to autonomous cars: probably mostly feasible, but years in the making so all technical constraints can be overcome.

But here we are, with public beta incoming, and people reporting Ookla speedtests with under 100 ms ping and download speeds into tens of Mbps. Amazing.

I remember when they first announced this project. It's exciting that they were able to get this accomplished in such little time.
