Is this a good ripost to the hand wringing articles bemoaning the end of technology development; a breakthrough technology taking man's instruments and machines to a place that they couldn't previously have got to? This explains a lot of the recent interest in LEO for telecoms I guess, I should imagine that the control that this gives you coupled with the longevity would enable you to do a lot more for a lot less than is currently the case.
