LEO isn’t that far away. StarLink has quite good latency.

    You'd have to constantly adjust its orbit. Something that huge with massive radiators and solar panels is going to get a lot of drag.

    Whatever the end latency is, it'll be higher than starlink as these are going to be in a sun synchronous orbit and they dont talk to earth, they talk via starlink.

    So you'll have to go up to starlink, then laser link the shortest route to the nearest available dish, then back.
