If they could put relatively cheap cameras on the "back" of these satellites (without them being destroyed when facing the sun) and publish the data they collect, that might be enough to stem the flow of negative publicity.
Maybe even become a net positive for astronomy? Since the volume and density of the data collected would increase as the fleet grows, the value presumably increases as well, hopefully faster than the problems that they create.
- salex89 7y agoThat's not really how things work. Even with a billion little cheap cameras, you can't do anything because they still can't see nearly enough as one proper telescope, which they blinded. As someone other in this discussion said, if you can see it with your eye, it is way too bright.
