As of August 14, 2025, there are 8,164 Starlink satellites in orbit, with 8,135 working and 7,103 operationa. The number changes frequently due to new launches and deorbiting of older satellites.

As of August 11, 2025, Amazon's Project Kuiper has 102 satellites in orbit. I suppose that number is now 126 with the B1091 launch and satellite deployment.

Bezos is still doing human suborbital flights and has 1/80 the number of satellites in orbit as StarLink.

What an amazing commanding lead by Musk!

A technology bump. All right, I may be forced to admit that this heavier-than-air flight thing might be possible after all...

is that because the Heavy blew up too many times?
