We have Starlink because of new and expanding launch opportunities. Starlink is very helpful (I work at a farm and before Starlink we had very poor internet options) for people the world over.
Can we build a new generation of space based asteroid observers? I know that this is a reactive approach but I don't see those constellations coming down. We could prevent expansion but they are damned helpful. In the past space telescopes were a big affair to launch one system. But what if we launched a constellation of 100 or 500 space based telescopes? Is there a way to move forward to solve this? Or what is the solution?
