The future of the night sky was always one filled with satellites and space ships and drive plumes.
It's silly to die on a hill that's inevitable, it's much wiser to stand on the hill and reach higher. The future of space exploration is in space, not on the ground, and the proliferation of these satellites is a sign that space exploration is getting cheaper.
Just like people were shocked that there was only one or two computers in the world at one point, they will be shocked that we only had Hubble for so long.
