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.
