except you as an individual could opt out of the original Wild West; this one, not so much.
perhaps it's exactly like the Wild West from the viewpoint of Native Americans: we're taking your skys.
- avmich 6y agoYes, that's very unfortunate. I hesitate, however, concluding that we should ban satellite constellations on these grounds. Do you think that would be a good approach?
- tekstar 6y agoYes, unless they are invisible in the sky. Put a barrier in place to force innovation.
- avmich 6y agoAnything in the sky is something which at least obstructs the view. If we have too many even black body satellites - which have zero reflection or emission in interesting spectral parts - we're still can't see through them. If we have too many of them, we still have a problem. So - theoretically - it's a choice between space flights and astronomy. Maybe there can be a more optimal solution than what we have today.
