Even a a few dozen of these is a game changer and shouldn't require a large rocket to boost them into orbit if they survive the trash fields and if the rocket was serviceable/ launch-able after 150 years. They could be set in a geostationary orbit and also service and a GPS tool as well as weather and communications.... any thoughts?
It is possible that they just bought up a bunch of decommissioned Minuteman III missiles from the government. They have done that a couple of times to private companies for launching satellites. They do have that capability. Though I am sure they track those pretty closely.
