On the other hand, we won't have to do polar alignment or collimation ourselves any more.

Fingers crossed they don't increase the amount of satellites in higher inclinations, The current 53 degrees mean that they are never anywhere near ideal imaging altitudes in Finland. One of the rare bonuses to living higher latitudes i guess.

The giant starships aren't to transport humans to Mars, they are to tranport his fellow Martians to Earth.
