Starlink can have different price structures for different areas. When it's not over Europe/USA it is basically just waiting to be back over. So it doesn't cost anything to extend service.
Ground equipment would be a different story, likely sharing of a dish between multiple people.

Embrace energy abundance.
Nuclear powerplants everywhere, more fertilizer for developing nations.

would make sense to test early HLS SN with orbital refuelling. Two tests at once.
If able to fuel successfully, send to moon.
