China is probably doing something like that already.

If they actually are this is amazing news

It's funny how people tend not to notice how much these micro-institutions matter.

I mean if it does then then Starlink really shouldn't be built. The field of Astronomy barring the most well funded programs capable of launching their own satellites are worth significantly more than some capitalist venture. We don't need Starlink, we can actually just run fiber lines and build cell towers. Same thing if it effects the night sky in a detrimental way. I want to see real stars, not satellites (generally speaking) when I look up.

After seeing the footage I think Starlink should be banned or forced to find a non-disruptive design. For that matter force spaceX to pay for space junk removal. Over a city is fine, the sky is already screwed there, but no one has business polluting the sky like this in areas that aren't blighted by cities already.

The technology advance the more space of physicaly possible it have to negotiate.

5G and climate monitoring , Starlink and astronomy ; do you know any other examples ?

Because if we're either a machine or ruled by them we've failed.

Our biological bodies are already superior to any machine. So why become inferior?

Just enhance them
