An interesting way to grasp the scale of Starlink and it's expansion, a gigawatt of power in a few years is no small thing, albeit a very small step towards becoming a Type II Kardashev scale civilization:

SpaceX put 10 megawatts of solar power in space across 3000 gen1 Starlink satellites, then they put 100 megawatts in space with 7000 gen2. soon, they're doing 1000 megawatts with gen3. SpaceX is basically 10xing space solar every few years!
