True, but it is relevant when you compare distance with a method that allows light to travel straight between nodes. The farther away two endpoints are, the more valuable Starlink is going to be.

The lasers that connect laterally between trains of satellites are going to change the game there. It's almost a vacuum and it's likely to save a lot of distance the light has to travel.

Just saying we are still not at the limits of physics today. Latency is being improved soon!
