    But really tiny adjustments, because it’s far away.

    Also there’s a spread in the beam, so that’s nice.

    Also, as I pointed out elsewhere here, there’s a vacuum-bottle effect. You can just pump heat into it. And also you don’t need to melt it, just overheat the electronics.

      You need to move the point from one horizon to the other. Like the sun, satellites “rise” on one side and set on the other. All of that in less than 15min(in LEO).

      You can watch the dishes turn.
