[Musk: SpaceX communication satellites will eventually exceed 100,000] On November 15th, Musk responded to the evaluation that "a single launch of a starship can increase the Starlink bandwidth by 50 Tbps" and said that the actual increase in the total global international bandwidth of this data is "not as good as it sounds" because Starlink needs to deploy a large number of satellites in low-Earth orbit to achieve such bandwidth improvements on a global scale. However, he predicts that SpaceX communications satellites will eventually exceed 100,000, most of which will be V4 or V5 versions. (Note: The 15th test flight of Starship carried 26 third-generation Starlink (V3) satellites, each of which can add approximately 1 Tbps of communication capacity to the constellation, totaling approximately 26 Tbps. Musk’s statement of more than 50 Tbps in a single launch refers to expectations for future missions.)
