All 60 satellites up and running – cool!

SpaceX did it, congratulations! After the third postponed start, today the Falcon 9 rocket with the payload succeed to reach space and the expected orbit where all 60 satellites have been successfully deployed.

The most interesting part seems to me that it doesn’t need +1000 satellites to start the Starlink network commercially:
