> Instead of using solar panels, they will use small nuclear reactors that will enable much higher power, potentially higher orbits, higher bandwidth, longer life etc. You'd need like 12,000 kg of plutonium 238, more than has ever been usefully produced, from an enormous nuclear production infrastructure that doesn't exist yet, all for a price that's three or four orders of magnitude bigger than for a similar number of square meters of solar panels. Anti nuclear people aren't your problem here.
