On Facebook, there are periodic statements from people tracking the Normand Ranger and Go Australis with guesses as to what it means, first that because of sea conditions they were going to tow it to Java, then that Ranger had dropped the tow and headed back to port, then that Australis was intending to flood it in deep water, and now that Ranger has returned and is towing it east at 2 knots... Has anyone seen anything directly from SpaceX?

Normally a $10 billion project would be big news... And while they don't say where all those panels will be going, the xAI sats would be a pretty good guess.

GIven that every Version 3 has about an order of magnitude more capability than version 2, that single launch would give the array the equivalent of 8 Falcon launches, so could SpaceX offer to put 8 Falcon launches "on the open market" immediately as soon as customers could ship the payloads? I'm sure both ASTS and Amazon would be interested since they have satellites piling upat the cape that were originally scheduled for New Glenn and Vulcan later this year.
