@Spirit: I am aware. If the Satellites failed that means they were likely discontinued and not used, that means they no longer had dust in them afterwards. Yes. But that also implies they have no other source of fuel, otherwise they would have tried making satellites without dust. Since there have been no mentions of satellites otherwise and they rely solely on ground communication networks as opposed to satellite communication networks like us, that means they have nothing else to power the satellites with. This means dust is literally their fuel source for everything, it is a part of their culture, and it's highly unlikely for someone to go "Eh, dust is too expensive, I don't feel like buying it." It's literally a part of their culture and their everyday life.

That is the point I was making.
