Space Xploration and the need for reliable earth-mars and earth-moon communications

saturnv

Will laser communications between these celestial bodies become a reality before 2030?

Will it be achieved by government or the private sector?

    Surely it'll be whatever's the most necessary? Why laser communications in particular?

    Laser/light communications focuses all energy in a "line of sight" or straight line direction like microwave communications and can be achieved with lower power output then conventional RF or Satellite. Since the moon First quarter moon with face and Earth americas are tidal locked, point to point communication remains nearly 100% reliable.

    Not really. JWST can maintain it line of site objectives at the Lagrange 2 point, other satellites Satellite could do the same.
