For those questioning viability, there's a startup called Starcloud <a href="https://www.starcloud.com/">https://www.starcloud.com/ with a public whitepaper explaining a bit their hardware and economics <a href="https://www.starcloud.com/wp">https://www.starcloud.com/wp. They've already had one small proof of concept launched. Not trying to promote, I just heard about them on the ycomb podcast

  Starcloud seems like a whole lot of hand waving and BS. This is a good video that goes over their problems:

    It reminds me of the Hyperloop white paper, whose existence for many was proof enough that it was viable and beyond questioning.
