    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.
