What I would like to see is “satellite as a service” for satellites to have rentable space for uploading code, and accessing their capabilities in a colocated way or full instance only (without breaking them... you’d need to pay to cover the insurance too).

It’s far cheaper to send bits to space than actual matter on a rocket.

It would also promote re-use of satellites and mitigate Kessler syndrome (unless induced demand makes it worse).
