SpaceX CEO Elon Musk put Starlink bandwidth carried by future Starship missions above 50 terabits per second. The statement links the rocket to a specific data-rate level for the satellite network.

Starship is designed to carry people and cargo into orbit and be reused. Starship’s ability to put satellites into orbit at scale could support Starlink’s capacity expansion as communications demand grows.
