“We are adding a laser to the trunk of Dragon,” says Gillis. “In order to communicate and send internet to the spacecraft, you have a laser directing information , and then another laser returning information to that moving constellation at all times. It’s incredible bandwidth availability.”Apollo. In orbit, that volume goes further still, since a weightless crew can make use of ceiling and bulkhead room that is not available in 1g.
