Comment on Elon Musk destroys astronomy
Comment105@lemm.ee 17 hours agoStarlink seems like a genuinely interesting and useful technology, in some ways.
But it also seems like it might not be worth having.
I’m thinking they might need to be deorbited, but I’m not confident in that yet. It sounds like it might be fixable in a new generation of Internet constellation satellites.
Idk how long the issue should be tolerated to wait for that, though. And while Starlink has a good amount of customers this kind of Internet is genuinely useful for, it’s still not a lot compared to all the other internet services.

China is putting up their own equivalent system. Terrestrial radio telescopes are fucked.
Time for a moon base.
