This is some incredible cover art.
I don't always agree with Gottlieb's takes, but I've had innumerable conversations over the past five years that feel like this. Simply put: many satellite companies have no idea how to win against Starlink.

Mars isn’t easy. Orbit gaps could leave explorers out of contact. Power’s always a challenge. And reliable communication is in demand.
