These baby brains refuse to acknowledge that commercial civilian communications devices can't be used for weapons by international law as well as the agreement specific to the starlinks. Musk is a garbage human but this is such a basic-ass outcome that would have happened regardless of the satellite hardware provider.

    Was looking at the sky with my astronomy app the other day and the sky was swimming with Starlink satellites. They are an abomination and the worst kind of space junk.

      I was kind of hoping the russians would release some chaff in starlink's orbit to just delete a band of satellites

        I hate them so much. Space exploration is such a delicate process, if we fuck up shit with too much junk it will get too dangerous to send anything up there. We can't just let business dudes who have no idea what they're messing with chuck a bunch of random crap up there.

        It's messing up our chances to do science and learn about the universe, there's something evil about that, IMO
