As a stunt, I think they will be able to do it fairly soon, using the satellites
that they have launched for polar coverage, they just need to time it so that
they have birds in the right place for a few seconds (and it may not be the
lowest latency possible, but as a stunt, who knows how far they could go)
As a practical thing, a year or two, they need to launch a lot of new birds, and
we don't know what is holding up the starlink launches the last several months.
