I started calculating the bandwidth for a continuous stream of carrier pigeons carrying 256GB flash drives, at different frequencies.
But the latency and loss rate would make it all worthless.

Rings true for me. In my younger days I was "privileged" to catch an early morning flight to San Jose with a stack of tapes that I then drove to Palo Alto. All because a RAID array had gone kaput and tapes in a carry-on provided better bandwidth than the upstream from the office where our backups were.
