No, they did that a while ago. Since the Cybertruck at least.

There’s no theoretical limit to the speed of transmission to Mars, you just make the lasers bigger and bigger. At some point people of Earth will see it as a weapons proliferation problem and yes, satellite intermediaries will be needed most of the time. Latency is standard space scale difficulty. But yeah, colonizing Mars is dumb. The chemistry of non-Earth-biosphere places does that.

Well, no theoretical limit to the bandwidth. The speed of light is still a thing.

I don’t think they were claiming there’s a theoretical limit. I think they were claiming it’s stupid to imagine transmitting amounts of data we can’t even get on earth without cables, and then not factor in how the speed of light would limit things further.

I completely agree with this sentiment.

But then consider the alternative…there are already two of these, how many more do we need?
