Wrapped up classes on the Russian segment at the Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center /w @Astro_Doug today. One more step complete on @Commercial_Crew's path to @Space_Station for @SpaceX's first crewed mission! pic.twitter.com/epPFBELFIl

i would say that this is a pretty high success rate for a batch of largely experimental satellites

Jonathan has my highest confidence. I'm just sharing what SpaceX just sent out.

"Please note that the observability of the Starlink satellites is dramatically reduced as they raise orbit to greater distance and orient themselves with the phased array antennas toward Earth and their solar arrays behind the body of the satellite.”

"Most are already using their onboard propulsion system to reach their operational altitude and have made initial contact using broadband phased array antennas. All have maneuvering capability and are programmed to avoid each other and other objects in orbit by a wide margin."

Update from @SpaceX on Starlink:
"We continue to track the progress of the Starlink satellites during early orbit operations. At this point, all 60 satellites have deployed their solar arrays successfully, generated positive power and communicated with our ground stations."

Asked how confident he was in the success of the commercial lunar landers, NASA's Steven Clarke said: "My confidence is high that these three companies will succeed."
That's an interesting pivot from the "shots on goal" characterization earlier in regard to the higher risks.

All three of these landers are cool as can be. Such a good program for NASA and the companies (and the country).

Two of the three proposed commercial lunar landers will launch on a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.

Will any of these companies successfully land on the Moon before the end of 2021?

We will! As we've discussed, very exciting times in spaceflight on a number of fronts.
