If #SpaceX would provide a #Starlink network (#Marslink) around #Mars, you'd call it an "uncrewed commercial" launch, right ? Similar for other launch providers

#ElonMusk Has No Idea How The Speed Of Light Or Satellite Communication Works
Having a thick layer of satellites around #Mars would certainly make transmission easier, as it would make the comms target larger than the planet itself and would likely speed up intra-Mars comms when that becomes necessary. But it probably won’t demonstrably speed up communication between Earth and Mars, at least not to the extent Elon is pitching, because Mars is really far away.
