This is not as good as it sounds, because Starlink required many satellites in low Earth orbit to achieve this bandwidth improvement globally.
That said, there will ultimately be over 100k SpaceX communications satellites, most of which will be V4 or V5. Good chance that this system carries about half of global traffic.

BREAKING: SpaceXSI completes MiniHard construction in just ~5 months, with Gun Range targeting a ~4-month build.
According to SemiAnalysis, SpaceXSI is roughly halving construction timelines while most comparable projects face 8–12 month builds.
• MiniHard: Construction finished in approximately 5 months.
• Gun Range: The new site just south of the Tennessee–Mississippi state line is targeting approximately 4 months of construction.
• Colossus 1: Its first retrofit delivered 150 MW of capacity in 122 days.
• Colossus 2: A subsequent retrofit delivered 210 MW in just 91 days.
• Project SPAM: Work started October 5, with the first capacity targeted for December.
• Massive expansion: SemiAnalysis projects the Memphis–Mississippi campus will grow from 0.4 GW of IT capacity in January to 2.4 GW by the end of 2026. That would be a sixfold increase in one year.
• Five major projects: The expansion spans Macrohard, MiniHard, Macroharder, Project SPAM and Gun Range.
• Tesla powering the scale: SemiAnalysis reports 1,377 Tesla Megapacks across Colossus 2, providing nearly 6 GWh of battery storage.
The construction timelines and capacity forecasts are SemiAnalysis estimates, with future milestones still targets.
Elon Musk’s teams are bringing extraordinary speed and scale to the infrastructure powering AI.

TARI EASON ONE-HAND SLAM AT THE END OF Q2!
Snatches it at halfcourt.
Sprints.
Jams.
The FAA has ordered a nationwide ground stop, halting departures from U.S. airports. 🇺🇸
This happened after communications problems affected air traffic control centers. Flights already in the air can land, while international flights are being handled case by case. Officials say technicians are investigating and the stop is necessary for safety. It is the first nationwide ground stop since 2023. The FAA has not said when departures will resume.

Hey
@grok, what is the likelihood of all U.S. flights being halted as a result of a major cyberattack?
Explain in detail if you can.
🇺🇸 BREAKING:
FAA issues nationwide ground stop across the United States, with all flight departures halted. This is only the third nationwide ground stop in the US in 60 years…
All airborne ATC communications across the United States are experiencing technical issues, the FAA says.
@grok, confirm an elaborate further with full sources.

BREAKING: In an extraordinary move made only one other time since 9/11, the FAA orders ALL flights nationwide grounded, bringing departures across the U.S. to a halt.
The Federal Aviation Administration is directing all departing aircraft to remain on the ground until further notice, citing safety concerns.
International flights arriving in the U.S. will be handled on a case-by-case basis as questions mount over what triggered the sweeping order.
The FAA has not publicly detailed the cause of the emergency action.

JUST IN: 🇺🇸 FAA issues nationwide ground stop for all flights.
All flight departures have been halted.
My mom fed a homeless man behind our house for 20 years.
Three meals a day, even when we couldn’t afford electricity.
I hated her for it.
The day after her funeral, that same man took my hands, looked me straight in the eyes, and said:
“Before she died, she begged me to stay silent.”
I honestly had no idea what he was talking about.
For 20 years, this man had lived in a makeshift shelter behind our rental house.
My mom brought him breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Every single day.
And the crazy thing was, we were poor too.
My sneakers had tape covering the holes. Sometimes we struggled to pay our bills, and there were days when we couldn’t even afford electricity.
But somehow, my mother always found enough food to feed him.
I never understood it.
I remember coming home two days before Christmas and finding a yellow eviction notice taped to our front door.
We were struggling to keep a roof over our heads, yet my mother was still preparing three meals a day for a stranger.
That night, I finally lost my temper.
Me: “Maybe if you stopped feeding strangers, we wouldn’t live like this!”
My mom turned around so quickly that I knew I had crossed a line.
Mom: “Don’t you ever DARE say that again.”
I had never seen her that furious before.
I didn’t understand why she was defending him so strongly when her own child was going without things.
I moved out when I turned 18.
We fought less after that, mostly because I stopped asking questions.
But the man stayed.
Year after year, his little shelter remained behind our house, and my mother continued feeding him.
Then my mom got sick.
Cancer made her small.
She became quiet, and it was the kind of quiet that scares you because you know something terrible is happening.
Two weeks before she died, she reached out and grabbed my wrist.
Her grip was so weak that it broke my heart.
Mom: “Promise me you’ll keep feeding him.”
I looked at her.
Honestly, I wanted to say no.
I wanted to ask why she was still worrying about that man when she was the one who needed help.
But you don’t lie to a dying mother.
So I promised.
My mom eventually passed away.
The day after her funeral, I prepared the best meal I could, put it on a plate, covered it with foil, and drove to her house.
I had promised her I would keep feeding him.
But when I got there, the man was gone.
His shelter had been completely cleared out.
Everything was gone.
The ground had even been swept clean, as if those 20 years had never happened.
I stood there holding the warm plate, wondering where he could have gone.
Then I noticed something.
A black SUV was parked at the curb.
Standing beside it was a man wearing an expensive wool coat.
He was clean-shaven, well-dressed, and looked nothing like the homeless man I had known for 20 years.
But the thing that caught my attention was what he was holding.
My mother’s old silver locket.
The same locket she had told me she lost when I was eight years old.
He looked at me and said:
Man: “I thought you wouldn’t come.”
I stared at him.
Me: “Wait… is that you? What’s going on?”
He smiled, but his expression was unsteady.
His eyes were already filling with tears.
Man: “Your mom hid something from you.”
I felt my stomach tighten.
Me: “What did she hide?”
He looked at the plate in my hands before responding.
Man: “Before she died, she begged me to stay silent.”
My blood went cold.
Me: “Silent about what?”
He gently shook his head.
Man: “Sit down. You shouldn’t hear this standing in the cold.”
We sat on the front steps.
The plate was still warm between us.
He turned my mother’s silver locket over in his palm as though it might break.
Then he began telling me something I never could have imagined.
Man: “My real name is Vernon Hale. Before all this, I owned a company. I had a big house in Connecticut, a wife, and a little girl. My daughter was six years old.”
I just stared at him.
