Show Notes
In this episode of My Weird Prompts, brothers Herman and Corn dive deep into the rapidly evolving world of satellite technology. From the "gold-plated" giants of geostationary orbit to the mass-produced constellations of Starlink, they explain why the altitude of a satellite changes everything about how we use the internet and monitor our planet. Learn why latency is the "killer app" for Low Earth Orbit and why traditional, high-altitude satellites aren't going away anytime soon. It’s a fascinating look at the "cargo ships" and "delivery drones" of the sky and how they are reshaping global connectivity.
