for anyone who cares, there’s a great book, “Eccentric Orbits”, about the rise, near demise, and miraculous resurrection of the original Iridium constellation(which btw, was based on Reagan’s “star wars” technology, which was much maligned at the time by the lying leftist fake stream enemedia):

SpaceX fans are so enamored with the Star Hopper being built in Texas, and the test of the SpaceX crewed vehicle that they’ve totally forgotten about this Iridium launch.
