Why not just fly up there and fix it?

Hey, easy in all the movies, maybe someday. At least the now dead Space Shuttle made it possible for a while. We are regressing when it comes to technology IMO. Hopefully just a pause, I know private companies are trying hard to keep us first in space.
Space exploration and technology pushes us forward as humans IMO. I know we have plenty of problems now right here, just like we did when Megellan and Columbus explored the planet and spent large amounts of capital. We need to push forward and outward regardless the things pulling us back.
Love the title. :)
Hughes' direct competition is having a little issue with their new satellite, as well. Antenna problems, evidently. Maybe after flying up and fixing that one they can swing by and fix the antennas on this one. LOL. The real question is, who's gonna spring for the extra gas? :p

Well, it's not going to be the Romulans, that's for sure. It's a Federation issue.
In some ways this reminds me of the recent movie "Geostorm" where an LEO constellation that controls the weather goes a little...crazy :) But... there is such thing as interplanetary internet, which is already in the works: https://futurism.com/new-tech-installed-on-the-iss-set-to-form-solar-system-wide-internet/ . https://futurism.com/new-tech-installed-on-the-iss-set-to-form-solar-system-wide-internet/
We need to Terraform Mars. Earth is getting way too crowded and polluted.
I wonder if you could get Hughesnet on Mars? What beam would that be?
Beam 4? There'd be slight higher latency. :p
Well said, BirdDog.
- Amen!
