Oh, the antenna doesn't need to just point in the general direction of Earth, it needs to point to somewhere in the surface. That makes sense, having a narrower beam would save power and achieve higher bitrates

Does this mean it has only a 12-hour window to transmit? Or there's multiple antennas on Earth?
