★Can a communications satellite connote anything natural? Here, it is attempted. Angels connote goodness, naturalness, purity, and a level of higher-being. Comsat satellites are not angelic. They are machines, delivering to us weird media events. These events often create mass histeria. Is this a goal that an angel would have? It is clear that the connotation of angel here is in place to show the height of these satellites. They are so far away from Earth that they are not visible or reachable by the normal human. However, comparing them to angels specifically creates an interesting and counter-intuitive connotation. To deliver a weird media event is not angelic, it is hellish if anything. SYM: technology (negative technology) as pure and respected nature.
Move on
