      LEO is so crowded right now that they have to make daily collision avoidance maneuvers, and it will only get worse. Also apparently they might be doing serious damage to the upper atmosphere as they burn up, and we don’t even know the consequences.

      Let’s just keep sprinting towards Kessler cascade territory. It’s fine /s

      I’m hoping everyone here realizes that if the satellite was the size of the little dots, they’d be the size of a large metro city.

      They’re about as wide as a car. Check out how big the distance is between the dots. You could fit a whole country between those.

      Its like being scared of being hit by a car that’s driving in Los Angeles and you live in San Francisco

      I wish someone would make a version of this where you can zoom all the way just so you could have a notion of how much you need to zoom to actually see them.

      They are more of a night sky view issue than anything. Their size vs space available is miniscule. They also don’t contribute greatly to space debris due to LEO. The Starlinks have definitely revolutionized communications and navigation, and will increase greatly with Gen 3. Now a question is to be answered if Gen 3 Starlink’s extra size will add to reentry debris hazard. As I understand it much of the size increase is solar array, which should burn up.
