Why are you comparing the output of a datacenter to the output of a single sat?

How much power do starlink sats draw and how does it compare to say 8x H200s?

27,500 satellites need launching - fast! - just for Claude to meet a demand spike?

There are over 10k starlink sats in orbit already. They’re obtaining approval for another ~30k.

So clearly not a problem for them.
