Not a scientist, but I assume the signal would degrade or mutate over time due to space radiation and other radio waves.

Electromagnetic waves have perfect/lossless superposition, so radiation can’t really degrade a signal that way.

The big limiting factors are free space path loss and noise.

It should be same logic we use for repeaters, so it'll be fine.
