See A Satellite Tonight ( https://james.darpinian.com/satellites ) is a nice tool for finding these. I have a young kid and it's been fun heading out at night and spotting these.

"Almost 2 percent of the kids diagnosed with COVID-19 in the United States have died from it, and the majority of them wind up in an ICU in a hospital." Is this a typo? Possibly he meant 0.2%? The data from my county (Alameda) has

SVG's SMIL bites again (the bug used to write the exploit). This ancient animation system is incredibly hard to implement without security bugs due how GC interacts with the SVG SMIL DOM apis (animVal, baseVal, etc). SMIL is one of the
