Just sharing because this is so gorgeous, and we all need reminders that there is indeed beauty in the world: a maple tree in my neighborhood. #Bloomscrolling
They sold off the restaurant real estate to help pay for the buyout, and leased it back at what the bankruptcy filing describes as "priced above market rates."
Someone please ask the rock-ribbed, law-and-order, God-fearing evangelical Conservatives of America if they stand four square with (checks notes) the mobster-affiliated head of the Hell’s Angels and a convicted tax cheat in their moral support of the ex-President on trial for fraudulently hiding hush money payments to the adult film actress he bedded in a hotel when his third wife was caring for their newborn 3000 miles away
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 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.
