⁣If we are going to send humans to the moon and Mars, then we need to look into how we could revive dying satellites. We already know that it is very difficult to put a satellite into a low Earth orbit or a geostationary orbit (where the satellites are above the equator and the earth's rotation axis is moving parallel to the orbit plane). Sending someone from NASA or other space agency to rescue a dying satellite is not as easy as putting a human being on the moon or Mars. We might be able to use technology to "repair" dead satellites by re-inserting a solar power collector into its dish and using battery power to power the repair system - but that might still not be safe, and it might take a year or more to get the satellite up and operational again which means we're still on the moon, which are somewhat ridiculous, and that's not what I want.
