        Space is big. Really big... Okay, not that big.

          Next gold mine idea: To put some hands in the front of the rockets to move all the space junk on the way when launching new devices...

          M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

            Last mile connection is a big problem, especially outside of heavily urbanized areas. Non directional satellite internet can be even placed on ships and aircrafts, allowing for better search & rescue operations and better navigation in case of mishaps.

                I'm disappointed it's not 747 satellites.

                  I think Biff would approve!

                      The potential market is bigger than you seem to think. Even SpaceX's not yet approved Starlink phase 3 (42k sats) won't be big enough to give broadband to all the people in the US outside of existing wired/good mobile service areas; compared to that everyone else rushing to get in ahead of the FCC's impending deadline for the next round of approvals is a tiddler.

                      Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason? Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful? --Zachris Topelius
