Yesterdays technology. I'm working on light that ignores matter, just beam through the earth.
Who still uses light? I'm all in on neutrinos baby.

Too heavy.
This is facilitated by two things.
First, we at Starlink are on the cusp of forcing light into 'particle only' mode, or PAM. With PAM, as the light is a particle, not a wave, it undergoes perfect time dilation.
Thus, transmit time between the moon and earth is instantaneous!
With this idea moderately solidified, we're preparing an aggressive launch schedule, to get that hardware on site!
Starlink receivers will be able to transmit via PAM too... once we've flushed out the tech.
All it will require is a series of future software updates, so buy your Starlink now!
