  • People want houses, that doesn’t mean they want forests clear cut.

    Similarly people want space exploration, that doesn’t mean they want to speedrun Kessler syndrome.

    The infrastructure isn’t the only issue here. Its the fact that this is being done by a corporation owned by a nazi, with many other companies looking to compete. So instead of having one set of LEO satellites, we’ll have several.

    If this was actually used to benefit humanity the light pollution caused by this would be understandable and minimized. But this isn’t being done in a sustainable way, or owned by the people.

    And that’s all before considering the detrement to the environment from these satellites constantly burning up in the upper atmosphere.

    And with all that said, this isn’t space exploration, and it isnt the type of space infrastructure that would aid exploration. Actual exploration doesn’t need thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of these tiny satellites aimed only at Earth.
