I hate seeing the star link satellites in the sky. Shouldn't there be some sort of law about how much garbage some company can put up there? How long do these things even last and how long until the technology is outdated or obsolete?

Blue Origin

I don't understand this company at all. Why would they add this to the mix? It really seems like Bezos' only motivation is to compete with SpaceX for everything.

Yay more space junk!

I hope they have proper risk assessments, de-orbiting protocols, and especially important build in a way/with materials that don‘t ruin the night sky.

Not holding my breath.

Reminds me of the novel The Cassini Division by Ken McLeod where space launches are no longer possible after a runaway ablation effect turned Earth’s near orbit into a lethal debris field.
