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.
How are we fucking up our ability to go to space with these LEO satellites? That’s quite comical coming from someone calling other people’s statements a “smooth-brained take.”
It absolutely is NIMBY when you sit here on the internet arguing that rural folks should have their internet access revoked because it’s “spoiling your view.” What difference would it make to any of your listed points if it were an international endeavor rather than a private one?
Yes, I think millions of people around the world shouldn’t have their access to a public good limited by the decisions of two billionaires from one country. I don’t think that’s a particularly strange take?
If there are going to be tens of thousands of satellites fucking up everyone’s views of the sky, that should be at least be done with some attempt to gain a social licence first.
I imagine Amazon will be the one taking your tax dollars to do business. They famously have no money and need American tax dollars generated by working class labor in order to survive.
Republicans historically so not want to use their tax money to provide for the “undeserving” both locally and globally.
If he’s not opposed to his tax dollars being used in such a way, and instead opposes technology advances as a whole, one wonders why he would be in a technology community
Quite excited to see what some competition will do in this space (no pun intended) with Amazon’s upcoming deployment.

Yeah it’s totally ruined. I can’t even see the sky anymore at night.

That’s significantly less of a concern than assisting in elevating a few billion people out of poverty
Starlink has lifted people out of poverty?
The internet most assuredly has. Idk about Starlink’s performance at all outside of Ukraine.

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

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?

… Why do you hate poor people?

Yes if you change words in a sentence you can make sentences mean different things. That is indeed how words work.

It isn’t at all, though, unless you change the words until the topic is unrecognizable.
Paying taxes so the poor can have things and “talk about fossil fuels” are entirely different things.
