Today, Flight 14 of the SpaceX Starship took place. For the first time, it achieved orbit and deployed 26 Starlink V3 satellites. This was no test flight, this was a successful deployment mission that saw both the booster and starship successfully maneuver back to earth and land relatively softly. Yes, they could probably have caught them with the chopsticks if they had wanted to up the ante for the day. However, enough success has been achieved. Though there are still hurdles to overcome, the starship - as is - has become economically viable.
