The quick maths indicates that to achieve this, they’d have to launch 22.5 satellites per week every week for the next 18 months until that deadline. SpaceX seems to be launching at nearly twice that rate, having launched [1565 satellites](https://spaceflightnow.com/2024/10/30/live-coverage-spacex-t....) in the first 10 months of this year.

Keep in mind that Kuiper satellite is 600kg, while Starlink is 260. So you would have to adjust the math.

I am sure it's doable if all the space providers work together and there aren't any showstoppers.

Are you living in a different world that me?

NO company or Government on Earth outside SpaceX has the capability to launch more than about 15 orbital rockets per year. Most are in the 5-10 per year range.

Who the heck is going to launch all these sats?

		That's why I said "if all the space providers work together". That obviously includes SpaceX - they would be doing the heavy lifting here (mind pun intended). > NO company or Government on Earth Not that it's a possibility for Kuiper, but China had 67 launches in 2023.
