So now SpaceX, with no working spacesuit, and years behind on it's multi-billion dollar moon lander, is lobbying NASA to go to the Hubble Space Telescope.
"A successful private mission could improve Hubble's ability to point at celestial objects and, by boosting its orbit, extend its life by years... however, an accident could leave the multibillion-dollar telescope broken — or, even more tragically, tethered to the dead bodies of the astronauts sent to repair it."
Sort of like dumping sewage into the ocean or emitting smoke from smokestacks can't possibly affect the water or air because the oceans are so big and the atmosphere so vast.
Your inexpert opinion on these matters directly contradicts that of the professional astronomy and climate science communities, so perhaps it would be a good idea to do some research into the matter before misinforming people on social media.
Further, it is true that Starlink affords some benefits, what is at issue is at what cost?
Space nerd does not equal professional astronomer. It would be helpful to your arguement to cite some experts in the field who say that satellite tracks are not a problem for their work, and that another ten fold increase is such interference is something manageable.
Did you read these articles, or just go by the headline. Both discuss the problem and imperfect/difficult ways to reduce the impact of the problem. Particularly severe is the impact on Vera Rubin.
Glad that there are people working to salvage something from these corrupted images, but to claim there are professional astronomers saying it is not a problem is false.

Of the many double standards employed by the media, Biden needing every speech to be some combination of Lincoln and Cicero while Trump's public appearances are 90 minutes of word salad, non sequiturs, and dictatorial musings that get no push back, is among the worst.
This is such a smart take. If Biden put on foot wrong they will be all over him, meanwhile Trump is a raving lunatic and the ignore his daily meltdowns and 'summarize' his nonsense adding coherence to it.
This is BS. Did you watch the State of the Union? Biden is a superb public speaker. He stumbles over words occasionally stemming from a mild stutter, but the substance of his speeches is solid and the policies he advocates are substantive. There is no comparison.
Tomorrow in the Trump election fraud trial, Cohen's cross examination will conclude. The usual suspects on TV will offer their hot takes as to whether the defense 'scored points' or 'dirtied up Cohen' successfully.
Let's try to stay focused on the facts, not some kind of sports coverage analogy.
Bottom line is going to be, did Trump approve "grossing up" Cohen's payment, thereby commiting fraud, as shown in this piece of hard evidence, the Cohen bank statement with Weisseberg's notes?
Well y'all, this past week I have seen my first #cybertruck in the wild. And this morning I saw my second cybertruck in the wild.
Swell.
They look just as boxy, ugly, out-of-place, and pretentious in person as they do in pictures.
First in #OklahomaCity, second in #EdmondOK, which is separated from #OKC by one street. So there is the chance it was the same vehicle. I sincerely hope so. It just pains me to think that there might be two such complete, unadulterated fools in this area.
Seen a few in Silicon Valley and one in SF. Always try to get a hard look at the driver and try to imagine what sort of thought process 'drives' someone into making such a decision.
