        Sucks when you try to do astrophotography and there’s a ton of fuckin lines across your photos. Also makes general astronomy more difficult. But go off, I guess.

          At least for us amateurs satellite trails get completely rejected out during image stacking. They’ll definitely be more of a problem for professional observatories, especially large survey scopes like Vera Rubin

          Bruh, are you really going to prioritize a singular type of hobby photography over access to a vital service such as the internet for millions of people? That’s prime NIMBYism.

          They’ve done plenty to help mitigate issues with terrestrial observatories. You could just as easily argue their rocketry advancements have made space much more accessible for the human race, which offsets any remaining harm to research telescopes.

            This is an absolutely smooth-brained take. Once we fuck up our ability to go to space, that’s it. All those satellites that lift people out of poverty would become shreds of trash, and there’d be no way to get any back up there.

            Furthermore, you are completely oversimplifying the ability to mitigate LEO satellite swarm’s effects on astronomy. It’s not being a NIMBY for not wanting corpos to fuck up nature. If we wanted satellite internet globally, it would be much better to make it an international endeavor.

      That’s significantly less of a concern than assisting in elevating a few billion people out of poverty

          The internet most assuredly has. Idk about Starlink’s performance at all outside of Ukraine.

        This will not do that. That’s the entire reason they are NOT getting the money. Start thinking with your brain and stop listening to hype.

          My post said:

          Quite excited to see what some competition will do in this space (no pun intended) with Amazon’s upcoming deployment.

          You hate Musk, we get it. Now, try to stay on topic

            Again, read the article, you utter moron. Musk is incapable of doing this, and neither is the concept itself. That has literally nothing to do with me. Stop attempting to act correct by not even making a valid point.

              The concept is literally working right now.

              Also, I’ve read the article. I’m not sure why you’re trying to make this chain about musk?
