I'm a very big fan of astronomy, but I can't seem to care at all about satellites blocking terrestrial telescopes. Ubiquitous connectivity is simply a larger concern than land based telescopes.
Further, space based telescopes seem to be the future of the discipline. While land based radio telescopes are less effected by satellites.
A bigger concern is Kepler syndrome, but that threat seems minimal in LEO.

- deeviant 4y agoYes, thank you. Too late to edit =/
- rtkwe 4y agoLand based will have an important role to play for a long time simply because we can easily service, upgrade and design new experiments for them which for a long time isn't going to be easy for space telescopes.
