    well i was contrasting how say, the hubble telescope is a worthwhile satellite that will eventually burn up in the atmosphere, while starlink is wasteful…

      Hubble is so far away it won’t reenter for a very long time. And that’s 1 versus 12000.

        what is your point?
        my point is you’re agreeing with me a lot but misinterpreting me entirely… so you’re trying to argue with me.
        …
        i’ll repeat my point reeeeeally simply:
        yes, starlink wasteful, bad satellites.
        some satellites good, like hubble.
