They are already communicating with the first couple that were released.

That's fricking wild to me.

Anyone have Starlink internet? Considered doing it, but was concerned with weather and it impeding up/down speeds

In about ~a decade, Starlink will start eating into Telecom Companies airspace.

In about 20, everyone will own a device that Starlink sends signal to.

Like I said Booster still needs work

Why? Don't they blow it up on purpose? And it did the flip and burns like it was supposed to do.

FAA wont sign off on rapid reuse if you lose Raptors every time. Also if you compare splash downs prior to F5 (which I believe was the first catch) Booster V1 significantly softer.

I don't, but know a couple who do and they love it.

A buddy of mine got it before he and his wife went on a weeks-long "off the grid" type trip in the midwest and he said it worked basically flawlessly. We also use it when we go to their camp in Grand Isle without issues.

It is not as bad as it looks. They blow up normally on touching water.
