At medium earth orbit the minimum delay will be about 67ms (250 ms to 600+ ms for geostationary orbits) for LEO it is 25-50 ms. The average ground network ping on a good day is 1ms-20ms.
BSc > MBA every time. I did actually watch the video tearing it apart and the numbers required just for pumping the working fluid for cooling were insane

Looks like dialup’s back on the menu boys!
thats not even the worst problem, they would have to deal with potential orbital debris, solar radiation, flares.
And the biggest problem dumping waste heat, the only way to do it in a vacuum is via blackbody radiation.
ceos arnt exactly bright, they think space is “cold” so they assume the heat would radiate into nothingness.

some universities are just MBA mills.
I think most of the internet will still be on Earth.
