EP74 - Starlink: Ten Thousand Tiny Routers Stitched Across the Sky

Midway across an ocean, miles from any tower or cable, passengers now join video calls as if the whole sky had gone online overnight. It looks impossible, internet delivered by machines falling permanently around the Earth. This episode tears open satellite internet, from the relay of fast-moving satellites stitching that sky together, to the reason nothing here would work if the network failed to plan around the speed of light itself.
