Boy oh boy the 11.3's are everywhere these days.

Why is Amazon launching satellites? Why, to build broadband megaconstellation in low Earth orbit (LEO). (In competition with Starlink.)

Project Kuiper will compete with another internet megaconstellation that's already operational in LEO — SpaceX's Starlink, which currently consists of nearly 5,000 functioning satellites. And Starlink is still growing; SpaceX has permission to deploy 12,000 of the satellites and has applied for approval for another 30,000 on top of that.

Not sure why….
