They are going to try to complete a full orbit this time and deploy a real orbital payload.

I'm not sure if they are going to try to catch this Starship.

Not going to deploy a real orbital payload. Starlink V3s have an ultralow LEO path to point were solar array is optimized to minimize drag.

What is this retarded baboon trying to say? That low earth ORBIT isn't orbit?

Baboon dumb.

Dummy, your ignorance is not a badge of honour. Secondly, an orbit so low that you have to design satelittes to reduce drag is not a "real orbital payload". Pseudo orbital perhaps as the starlink v3 lumber themselves slowly into higher positions they still need drag reducing features for.

You are so dumb. Rofl. Pwnd!

Dummy, you are not an authority on this or on anything. "Real orbital payload" means lifting something into a stable orbit.

The v3s are most definitely not being lifted into stable orbit by the starship, or by their own power for that matter.

Ketamin man is using the term to distinguish from the last flight. 350 km altitude is very low. Lower than the international space station.

Congratz. That is like Sputnik-5 levels of success in 1960. Except without that live payload that returned to earth successfully. Is anything in this flight going to return successfully?

Rolf. Pwnd!
