I work on radio astronomy and black holes, and no, that wouldn't happen.
I mean, you probably think it's a good joke, and it may be for the general public. But it doesn't make any sense to an astronomer at any wavelength.
There have been a few "stealth satellites" launched, and it's an interesting problem to detect them without spending a ton of money.
- dylan604 4y agoThe fact that they called out Vantablack didn't strike you as being tongue-firmly-planted-in-cheek? You really sound like someone is grabbing a raw nerve with you and unable to see we're on your side poking fun.

BTW when the first "they're going to try to make the satellites darker" thing came up, a million redditers seriously mentioned Vantablack. That's not the thing that makes it an obvious joke.
