   They aren't the Space Shuttle.  SpaceX won't call them operational in   
   at all in 2026, even if they get to launching real Starlinks on them.

   I think it will take more than 4 a year to call NG launches routine.   
   That will be double this year's cadence.   
      
   > Low cost large rockets such as those can open up new possibilities.   
      
   Yes, but not in 2026.  Still exploration for a while.
