      It changes the night sky for about an hour each night, after the sun sets below the horizon for an observer on the ground, but still high enough to illuminate the reflective bits of satellites.

      Sure, this ruins certain shots that can’t wait for a more favorable window of opportunity, but it’s not the end of astronomy as we know it.

      True*

      *limited to species with long-exposure visual systems. Humans excluded. Not available everywhere.

      the billionaires want to take away anything that was free. Even the night sky and our hope of the future is being stolen away. Whose hungry?

      I would get excited when I was a kid, seeing lights move across the night sky (grew up in the country) because they were usually “shooting stars”.
      Now most of them are stupid satellites.

      I remember growing up in the 80s and thinking it was so amazing when I found a satellite while stargazing.

      Now it’s amazing if I can go 10 minutes without seeing one.

      Reusable rockets should make it easier to service satellites and increase their longevity. It shouldn’t be used to make disposable satellites.

      The same shift in technology that’s enabling this insane number of satellites will enable extreme advancements in space observatories, far outweighing any downsides from the degraded views on the ground.

      In a few decades they’re all going to fuse together to form a giant dyson sphere.. and.. wait.. no that’s sposed to be around the sun. We’re fkd. 🤔
