Shownotes Transcript

SpaceX has successfully completed its 6th Starlink launch. This means they have deployed over 420 low earth orbit satellites. On Twitter, Elon Musk confirmed that Starlink would be launching in a private beta in 3 months, and a public beta in 6 months. I can't believe how fast this is happening! This is a huge inflection in SpaceX's business, as they become their own launch customer (by launching their own satellites). Long-term this has the potential to add $Bs of revenue, and fund SpaceX/Elon Musk's Mars ambitions.
