> the majority points to delays in the development of SpaceX’s
Starship launch platform—the largest, most powerful rocket ever built—as evidence that SpaceX would
be unable to launch enough Starlink satellites to meet its 2025 commitments. The trouble with this
argument is that SpaceX never indicated that it was relying on the Starship platform to meet its RDOF
obligations, and in fact it repeatedly stated that it was not.
I think the metric was 'more likely than not achieve the metric by 2025' and the decision was made in 2022.
