E-Space • 6 December 2022 Space: It’s smaller than we think For much of humanity’s time on Earth, the oceans seemed impossibly vast and indestructible. Over millennia, we treated it as an infinite resource and transportation medium — and polluted it with reckless abandon. We’re only now confronting the consequences of ocean degradation brought about by centuries of unregulated carelessness.The same is now happening with space, another seemingly vast entity so large as to be immune from human destruction or waste.“Space may be practically limitless, b

viasat.com • 30 November 2021 Satellite internet latency: What's the big deal? Radio waves sent from a satellite are moving at the speed of light, but because of the greater distances the signal must travel, the latency is higher than that of terrestrial providers. A cable internet signal, for example, may have an average latency of 30 milliseconds (ms), while a signal from a satellite in geostationary orbit might be 600 ms.
