I’d rather just de-orbit every StarLink satellite, stick next gen data satellites in geostationary orbits, and outlaw more any more space trash at that scale in LEO, full-stop.
- fencepost 2y agoLatency's not going to stop being a problem for geostationary orbits, which is why lower altitudes get used.
- dotnet00 2y agoIt's a good thing we don't have even more ignorant tyrants in power then
- nativeit 2y agoWell, the smart tyrants are certainly making productive use of StarLink, to be sure.

Flip side is that stuff in LEO deorbits pretty quicky, while geostationary junk doesn't deorbit in any timeframes humans care about.
