Also WHAT if the MP bought a few old missile bunkers and refurbished them as launch systems for a few satellites. It could feasibly work on an updated timeline. Under the guise of a private launch company, you could build a rocket with a small payload similar to the Starlink. 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?
A "Crazy" Idea I had was the project arranging for the defection of the "Red October" and keeping it in a concealed dry dock on a private island (Isla Nublar) of the coast of Costa Rica. With the plan being to reconfigure the SS-N-20s to launch a cluster of small communication, recon and weather sattelites when the project started.
