This is just a very basic first step.

Earth and Mars will ultimately need >petabit/sec connectivity. https://t.co/FBXeDQeczZ

Standard procedure is to de-orbit failing or obsolete satellites. There's not enough atmosphere to burn all those satellites up on reentry.

Would they necessarily be in a, I guess the term would be LMO?

If it's like Starlink, yes.

Yea I didn't see anywhere that they identified the orbit. For that application I wouldn't be surprised if they used a GEO orbit and super synch retired birds.

I'm not moving to Mars until I can stream in 4k.

They will need ground stations first.

Will not consider until nfl Sunday ticket is working well on mars.

Why not just watch the MFL at that point?

True, but based on my fantasy football management experience, not sure I want to bring that voodoo to the free people of Mars. It will also take decades until Martian football can rise to our expectations/standards.

The weighted balls will really impact the kicking game, imho. Interplanetary trade rules will have to be established. I already like Martian refs better though.

Mars sports are gonna be weird. We'll have a good decade at least of streaming earth sports
