The need for swift data, and personnel exchange between planets was already urgent—but more so, we needed seamless communication between the Young Belt and the Mid Belt. Imagine: a catastrophe erupting in Jura, and we wouldn’t even hear about it nor reach for help until a months had passed! That’s a risk we couldn’t afford."
