Yeah, I didn't expect this at all. Despite Falcon 9 being the cheapest, most reliable, and perhaps more importantly, most available launcher in the current market, I really thought Kuiper would avoid sending money towards Starlink at all cost. This move doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the New Glenn program, though we did see some hardware recently...
