Starship has 2 starlink dishes that unlike every others system today communicate back up to orbit to the satellite and then streams the data back down to earth. As long as one dish is pointed towards space (and therefore would have less plasma) communication will still work.
If you're mind is blown is really should be. Everything about starship seemed near impossible only 5 years ago. No one else in the world is even close.
