This article is pretty much just a shit post on SpaceX.

No one consented to Elon’s dyson cloud. Having that discussion and debate before these went up would have nice. There are good arguments on both sides. It is the utter lack of consent, the utter lack of forethought that really bothers me.

Starlink (and other constellations) satellites are only visible close to sunset/sunrise and close to the horizon. They will not „ruin“ (as much as a couple of light points can do that) the dark sky at midnight unless you are in summer at high latitude.

And megaconstatatlions are here to stay, even if just for the military value.
