Comment on Huge new satellite outshines nearly every star in the sky
almar_quigley@lemmy.world 8 months agoA. Why is this a generational thing? I guess you’re a boomer or xer? B. 1 or two satellites or space stations are neat. Your story was from a time when not every company in the world could get something up there with little regulation. C. Yeah, nature is always more beautiful than our creations. Imagine many years from now when there may be so many visible satellites in the sky it’s not a novelty like it was to you as a child. D. This kind of apathy is how we got into the climate crisis today.

I think that’s obviously debatable. Natural things are not innately superior to designed things.

early millennial. it's just funny how many ppl start to become critical about "space junk" since they realized that "twitter man bad" has some of them, ignoring, how dependent they are on all that stuff flying around there. love your sidestep to the current day topic, tho.

People have been talking about space junk for a long time. What are you talking about?
mishimaenjoyer@kbin.social 8 months ago
engineers and the military talked about space junk for obvious reason, but no one lamented working satellites because the antagonist celeb of the month launched them into space.

Exactly. No one is even mentioning how Amazon launched its first of 3,200 Kuiper satellites today. This is just another Musk complaining topic usually.
