    No one is suggesting we shouldn’t have satellites.

    Many astronomers suggested exactly that, they were against the approval of starlink.

    we could regulate the reflectivity of satellites

    Starlink has been doing that for 3 years now. There are limits to how nonreflective they can get the satellites.

      Standard issue Musk brain rot.

      “Shouldn’t have satellites” at all vs. “maybe let’s not approve this one corporation doing this completely unregulated activity.” If you really can’t tell the difference between those two things, I can’t help you.

      “limited to how nonreflective they can get the satellites”

      Citation needed.

        Love how you also completely ignore the dozens of other companies designing and/or beginning deployment of massive satellite constellations just like Starlink. Some of them even multiple times larger than what Starlink is aiming for.

        There very much are astronomers that have said they do not want ANY LEO satellite constellations.

        This isn’t just a Musk thing.
