Each of these Earth-observing satellites, known as Doves, is just 12 inches long by 4 inches wide by 4 inches high (30 by 10 by 10 centimeters) and weighs about 10 lbs. (4.5 kilograms). At that size, you can put 1000s into space at once.

Well, what did they expect? A drop in foreign grad students will negatively impact the capacity of professors to conduct research. That can't make America great, ever!

But that's not what I wanted to do. What I wanted to do, which was a reply to another comment, is explain why the local service option matters. Reading the comment that I replied to will help you understand my line.
