Actually, it is. It's expected to launch around Q2 2022. The NEPA FAA PEA is going to be decided upon on February 28th then if they get the greenlight a launch attempt will happen a couple months after that. For commercial launches, they are targeting 2023. Even if Starship gets delayed to 2023-24 it will still play a big roll in getting Starlink satellites up since they haven't started launching the gen 2 constellation yet.
