Oort - the cloud, in space.

We are building an orbital communications network and linux based satellite operating system that lets you program your small sat in widely used programming languages, and gives you access to unprecedented, low latency compute and storage on orbit, and enables uninterrupted connectivity to the ground.

Good lord, the Star Trek geek in me loves this idea. I have no idea why yet, but I want to become a customer, where do I sign up?
That sounds amazing! Forget the home cloud, try a satellite.
yeah you're gonna have to define low latency here

what are you doing differently to solve the predictable latency problem? having all the processing happening in the compute cluster so that there isn't enough back and forth to the ground to notice?

Yes!
