The video never addresses out loud that you can’t have a swarm orbiting in a sphere—each orbit is only planar, and they travel at different speeds, intersect, interact (the swarm is massive enough that its own gravity matters, not even counting collisions), are behind each other as often as exposed, and all need stationkeeping. But then the later parts of the video depict a toroidal swarm and imply it’s only getting 1% of the energy. Which is great, but then don’t call it a sphere?
