Unless you want to separate starlink from spacex it’s kinda the other way around.
I think spacex was adding starlink deployment to all their rockets and their “plan” was to launch other satellites and nasa projects, then get the starlink stuff up there for less.










GPS was planned out and deployed over 20 years (from proposal to operational).
It was also designed and worked for its intended purpose with only 24 satellites.
Block III gps satellites are designed to last 15 years and there are 10 of them.
Starlink is disposable chains of 1,000s of satellites that will be constantly burning up in the atmosphere and replaced at huge costs, including co2 from the launches.
