the V2 mini satllites do not have the same capability as the full V2 satellites,
they are cut down in capacity as well as in size to fit them on a Falcon 9.
I would not be surprised to see v2 satellites launched on Starship later this
year.
Gwen Shotwell said late last year that they had a quarter of Starlink having
positive cash flow, and that it's expected to be profitable in 2023
"Quarter of Starlink having positive cash flow" means what exactly? I.'ve never
heard a quarter of a corporation having positive cash flow as any kind of business metric.
that it earns more money than it spent in that 3 month period, and expected to
do the same in 2023.
SpaceX is private (so it doesn't have to impress the Wall Street clueless
folks), it deosn't get 'cost plus' contracts. There is far less incentive to do
creative accounting than if either of these were true.
