And wires are not bound by physics? To run cables over such long distances you have to boost the signal at periodic distances to avoid voltage drops and noise

If we can figure out how to put them on the bottom of the ocean and pipelines over just about any terrain, I think we can figure this out

Yes and we can also use a solution which requires absolutely no cables and digging at all, and that doesn’t disrupt any natural environments and occupies land.

And yes I’m aware of the impact satellites have on the atmosphere. There’s no free lunch.

Because building space ports and rocket launches have 0 impact as well.

But you acknowledge this, so what’s your point? Why pay a techno billionaire when we can publicly fund cables way cheaper and more friendly?
