There is a definite problem with this chain of logic. There is a large difference between design and production. In fact, they are entirely different skill sets. The average auto engineer is not going to be able to tow a broken car back to his house and fix it. That is not what he went to school for. By the same token, a gear head cannot sit down at a computer and design a car. That is not his skill set. As technology has become more and more advanced the days of design and production cross over are all but gone.
I don't know what everyone is so up in arms for. Multiple satellites working towards a common goal is not a new idea. Not even in the slightest. The term is a satellite constellation. GPS is a constellation of multiple satellites. Is that so scary...
