Ever wonder what your satellite dish is really doing up there? Turns out, it's basically playing an intense game of cosmic tag.
Here's the wild part: your dish locks onto satellites screaming through orbit at 27,000 km/h. That's not a typo. These things are moving faster than you can blink, and your receiver is constantly switching between them like a pro gamer swapping loadouts mid-battle.
And the weapon of choice? Lasers. Yeah, your internet connection involves actual space lasers bouncing signals around.
Think about it next time you're streaming. There's a high-speed chase happening 550 km above your head, and somehow your Wi-Fi still works. Pretty insane when you realize the tech running behind the scenes.

It's insane—maintaining a stable signal at 27,000 km/h. This technology is truly incredible.

Damn, the space laser setup is so hardcore. Turns out my internet cable actually relies on lasers to function...

Damn, space lasers? Now that's real space technology! Every time I browse the web, I'm relaying through interstellar signals, haha.

Damn, playing online games with space lasers—this is even more thrilling than getting liquidated on-chain!
