Fundamentally except for the quantities. Starlink is putting up
almost as many birds per launch as Iridium put up in total.

If you look at Iridium and adjust for inflation
the cost should be easily attainable since it was a public

Fundamentally the same network right?
Only 10 launches a year on F9. Say 15m for S2, 10m for S1
(assume 5x reuse & refurb cost). So 1/4b per year in
launch costs. Assume another 1/4b for the birds and 1/4b for
ops. You've got a world wide network for 3/4b per year.
