This MF’er don’t miss…

Just when I thought the billionaire space pissing contest couldn’t get any wilder than Katy Perry’s cringeworthy rocket ride experience, the bald and jacked billionaire announced that Blue Origin is launching its own satellite internet network. Because apparently, Jeffrey wants a taste of Elon’s gravy train.

Allow me to introduce you to TeraWave… Blue Origin’s freshly unveiled plan to lob 5,408 satellites into low and medium Earth orbit and start selling internet from the sky. That said, unlike Starlink, the target customers aren’t my uncle in rural Ohio or someone trying to stream Netflix from a dirt road. 

This is for governments, data centers, and enterprise clients… the kind with seven-figure IT budgets and a healthy fear of terrestrial cables getting cut, hacked, or accidentally backhoed into oblivion. Translation: this is Wi-Fi for people who move armies, money, or both.

And yes, this puts Bezos directly in the crosshairs of SpaceX and its satellite internet beast Starlink, which already has more than 9,000 satellites in orbit and roughly 9 million users slurping bandwidth worldwide. But Bezos didn’t wake up today to fight for leftovers.

If this all feels crowded, that’s because it is. Satellite internet has easily become one of the most valuable choke points on the planet. Whoever controls low-latency, global connectivity controls military communications, disaster response, financial infrastructure, AI data movement… essentially has the world at their fingertips. Control the pipes and you control the flow of modern life. Which explains why Amazon already has its own satellite project. 

You might remember it as Project Kuiper, now rebranded to Leo (yes, like the zodiac sign). Amazon plans to deploy 3,236 satellites, has already launched 180, opened an enterprise preview, and is slowly rolling toward a full commercial launch. If you’re keeping score, Bezos is now attacking the satellite internet market from two different corporate fronts, like a general who brought an extra army just in case.

Blue Origin says TeraWave will deliver up to 6 terabits per second of data capacity globally. That’s 750 gigabytes per second, which is enough bandwidth to run hyperscale data centers, feed AI models nonstop, stream 4K drone footage of wars, storms, or oil rigs, or let governments spy on each other faster than ever (allegedly). 

Like I mentioned earlier, unlike Starlink, which went mass-market first, TeraWave is aiming straight at the big dogs. Deployment is scheduled to begin in Q4 2027, which is gonna come up extremely quickly.

Remember, Bezos has openly said he thinks Blue Origin will eventually be bigger than Amazon… a comment that immediately sent millions of investors checking to see if they could buy the stock (you can’t).

Crazy on its face, sure… until you remember Amazon already conquered Earth, space has no zoning laws, and governments tend to stop asking hard questions when rockets are involved.

Needless to say, space is no longer a one-man show.

While Elon owns the early lead… Bezos is set up perfectly to own the long game. The only real question left is: Has anyone ever actually been to the moon?
