I was really hoping this was some sort of green Martian Rover system. SpaceX made satellite communications so ubiquitous and boring it's even used in farming.

They tend to have this effect on their products. Reusable rockets are so obvious and now boring because the novelty is gone. I cannot wait for Starship to do the same with LEO (and beyond) delivery.

And, hey, this is fine. Who gives a shit about fucking mars - we have to do something about our food production. We have to automate it and make it more sustainable. It’s exactly these sort of infrastructural use cases that are both the most profitable and carry the most significant impact.
