Minor pedantic observation
Starlink will be able to claim that achievement of having more than everyone else combined soon but isn’t there yet.
There are around 4000ish non starlink satellites in orbit today , starlink has 3k today .
- elurg 4y agoI don't know where you're getting "4000ish non starlink satellites". This seems to be the current number at the start of the year inclusive of starlink. It's growing fast! Many sources on the web seem to quote the Union of Concerned Scientists and here is their database: https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/satellite-database https://www.ucsusa.org/resources/satellite-database It's currently at 2219 starlinks and 5465 total, but Starlink has launched more since then.
