Underrated complaint. The comparison of each satellite being equivalent to a server rack or two only goes so far. The lag between them seems annoying even if it’s an optical link.
I’m hoping all this development money at least makes edge compute cheaper, faster, and better for satellites collecting a ton of data, like imaging ones, because I’m really not convinced by the constellations.
Take every other problem away.
These satellites will be hundreds to thousands of meters apart in orbit. Why would anyone want to introduce transmission lag into their datacenters?
