- Where do you get 5 second delays? Geostationary satellites are about 22000 miles away, and the speed of light is 186000 miles per second.
- What is Beam technology?
- You don't think that fire weakens steel? Why do blacksmiths heat metal before striking it?
- Are you really comparing kill rates in the Sandy Hook attack, where the shooter was in the same classrooms as his victims and shot them multiple times to Las Vegas, where the shooter was very far away?
Where do you get your information from? None of these ideas would stand up to the least bit of critical thinking.
You don't really know much about analog and digital packet transmissions now do you.
I know a fair amount about them. You don't seem to.
They just magically zoom down to earth in this imaginary scenario you were taught. No they must be prepared for transmission and go thru compression, identification and switches then blasted up 22k miles then deciphered and resent back down to this fake spinning ball without jitter or packet loss which causes lag or latency.
All the compression, identification, switches, deciphering, decompression, etc. all have to happen for bits travelling between your computer and computers at Google. The only difference is the transmission medium (fiber vs. open space microwave) and distance.
If you want to say there's complicated signal processing happening in the satellite, it's no more complicated than what happens when fibers meet on Earth.
Try to send data packets 44k miles and not loose packets or degrade them on compression and decompression.
You're clueless my friend. The latency is seconds and unacceptable to anyone.
It's clearly not just the distance. We send packets across the pacific ocean in a fiber optic cable. There's a 13,000 km fiber from Hong Kong to LA.

Beam tech allows the transmission to stay compact and not spread out losing digital packets. But the area of transmission is compact also, not some blanket of grab your data.
Are you saying that a low power transmission from a satellite would be hard to detect on earth? Because that's true. That's why they use high gain parabolic antennae to receive the signal. Signal-to-noise ratios are easily calculated, for example:
http://www.spaceacademy.net.au/spacelink/spcomcalc.htmIf you have calculations that show differently, please link to them, but gains of 30-40dB for dish antennae are not uncommon. That's a lot.
Note that weather related signal losses are known and expected:

Office fires won't bring a steel building down and if the planes weren't cgi the fuel exploded on impact. Nothing to burn. Building were built to sustain exactly those types of impacts.
Why wouldn't office fires bring a steel building down? Why do we have fire departments with hoses if buildings won't collapse or burn?
Why do blacksmiths heat metal before striking it?
Steel loses half its strength at 500 degrees C.

A bullet comes out of an AR at about 3300 fps and loses very little velocity traveling downhill a football field length. Look up ballistic on that round. 55 gr. 65 gr. I don't care. You ain't getting 100% kill ratio. The bullet is traveling at approx. same speed at either distance and is a spire boat tail, so it's a clean wound, if one can call it that.
I thought Sandy Hook was the 100% kill ratio and Las Vegas was much lower?
In Sandy Hook, the murderer shot each of his victims multiple times from close range.
In Las Vegas, the murderer was so far away and shooting randomly into a crowd. He couldn't be aiming for an individual person or be able to intentionally target a torso vs. extremity.
Still not sure where you're going with this.
