> I didn’t say only tapes.
You said that before Starlink Antarctica used physical tapes. You intentionally made zero mention of this pre-Starlink satellite connection.

Why do you care? What problem do you have with me outpointing out clumsy attempts at goalpost moving?

Yep, even more mentions of previously existing satellite connection.
Thank you for thoroughly demolishing your previous false claims of data tape only connection.

> Hell, Starlink will soon be serving Antarctica. Currently they send data back via tapes, flown on airplanes.
Wrong. Satellite connection with Antarctica existed long before Starlink.
>McMurdo, being a major hub for climate science and geology, among other things, already had a fairly serious satellite uplink through a traditional provider. SpaceX isn’t the first or only one using space lasers for communication — NASA had the jump on them by a couple decades and is looking into it as a way to provide high-speed internet for Artemis.

I only know about their use by Ukraine's army. Care to point out any examples related to the latter two?

No it's not. Stop trying to gaslight people. >You come off like an ass
Pot, kettle. Your comment is overly vulgar and hostile. Gonna put you on ignore now.
