I think people who have night sky views pure enough for satellites to become a nuisance is probably in the global minority. One might even call it a privileged pov, given that most rural inhabitants of this planet struggle for basic network connectivity needed for their livelihood and the education of their children. I respect your sentiment, though - ultimately, the question is not whether we should do it; it’s who’s gonna stop us.
- olivierduval 5y agoWell... bad night sky is really a problem in cities... where there's already fiber. But in most rural area (at least in France), the night sky is still "pure enough"... I understand basic network connectivity problem, but I'm not sure that satellites are the right answer wrt the impacts "ultimately, the question is not whether we should do it; it’s who’s gonna stop us". You're right... and I can't anything else but law... coming a world agreement on how to manage space around the world
