@sun @verita84 @vriska Maybe. However, I remember well how the Starlink started. SpaceX opened an office in Seattle, and hired a bunch of retreads from Boeing and such. They made the project disastrously late, and they could not afford to be late, because the licenses issued by the government specified a certain number of satellites in orbit by a certain date. Musk came to fix the problem, and he did. He listened to the reports and fired the whole leadership. Everyone. Then he promoted promising underlings. He put the thing on track. It's a fact.

To be sure, first Starlinks were significantly de-scoped. They launched with no inter-satellite links, for example. So they worked like Globalstar. But they did work nonetheless. And that made the difference. The traditional management was unable to do what had to be done.

Many such cases. IMHO the victims of Musk's management ought to STFU.
