    Interesting use of pronouns. When it’s launching, owning and operating the satellite, it’s “he” or “they”, for example “Starlink launches X thousand satellites”, but when it comes to the consequences, it’s “us”: “we are damaging our atmosphere” etc.
    No bitch, HE is destroying our planet, HE is launching tons of junk into the sky and then indiscriminately letting it pollute the air we breathe. THEY are taking all the profits while WE take all the risk.

    Every bit of news about this clown and his companies and their products sounds so grotesque, I just have to ask: is this average for modern satellites, or worse, and if, how much?

      Hate to break it to you but Starlink literally is average for modern satellites. Just about 2/3rds of all active satellites are Starlink. There’s thousands of them.

    Also, all of these satellites need to be replaced if starlink is supposed to keep functioning. Costs will need to be placed on either the customer or the taxpayer.
