The request is to saturate Low Earth Orbit and Very Low Earth Orbit with 15,000 new satellites and get us closer to a state of pervasive optical pollution.
As of May 4th, 2025, there are 12,149 active satellites in all orbits.
For the endeavor of more than doubling our satellite presence, a minority will receive notably worthwhile gains, while the effects of eroding our planet's night sky - this will be felt by ~all.
