Well, after all it is being cancelled and replaced by a vehicle that is untested, powered by an engine that is having delivery problems. And, by the way, the replacement doesn’t do that newfangled “reuse” thingy!

As soon as these test satellites prove that the system works as intended (perhaps with minor adjustments or modifications), then they will launch more than two at a time, but pzatchok’s point is a good one. There is currently a lawsuit by investors, because they believe that the choice of launch providers does not include low cost launches and a wider selection could have made the initial cost of the constellation somewhat lower, allowing for more profits, faster initiation of operations, etc.

Tests can be expensive, and in this case the cost includes the price of a launch.

Two small satellites, the first such by Blue Origin, work great:
Man bites dog, dog voluntarily goes to vet.

At what 250 million a launch that would be what, 400 billion dollars to just launch their network?

Not counting replacements?

The ROI must be huge for that kind of up front projection.
