Excellent, and tragic at the same time. The US is goosed, and they voted for it

Not sure Ramaphosa would let him back in.
Might end up having to go to Mars…

that totally works for almost all of us. aybe he can take his cyberFUps, too
Or put them into orbit like hie did with that Tesla convertible.
No, wait, we already have too much space junk including his frickin’ Starlink satellites…

They all seem to be burning up, too, so maybe they won’t be an issue much longer overall.

The problems are getting worse, as reported in New Scientist:
It’s only going to increase with more satellites in orbit (of all types)
We will have to fly our radio telescopes as well as our optical ones to get around this - I don’t think there’s any option.
I see starlink traces on my astro photography pictures. When you take hundreds of exposures of 180 to 300s each I would guess that about 10% of them have a white starlink track on them. Software removes them very effectively for me, but when it comes to professional astronomy it’s a very big issue.
When it comes to radio astronomy, interference is even worse.
Ditto here, and I am a complete newb at astrophotography! If you look at a sky atlas app like Stellarium you can see the bloody things are everywhere…
