Keith Fitz-Gerald(@fitz_keith):IonQ’s Skyloom just hit 84 optical terminals on orbit - that's one of the largest operational lasercomm footprints in LEO — flying on York Space sats for the SDA’s Proliferated Warfighter constellation. High-throughput, low-latency optical links that form the backbone of a resilient space mesh network. Most quantum plays stay in the lab, yet $IONQ is scaling U.S.-built optical hardware into national defense infrastructure. Dual-use flywheel in action.
