Can we just take a second to talk about how insane the pace of space launches has gotten? SpaceX literally just launched two Falcon 9 rockets carrying Starlink satellites from opposite sides of the country, one from California and one from Florida, in just two days! On one hand, it’s absolutely mind-blowing that we have the technology to make spaceflight this routine. We're living in a sci-fi movie where rockets go up back-to-back like it's a bus schedule. Global internet coverage is a huge win for remote areas. But on the other hand, does anyone else feel a little weird about how quickly our orbit is filling up with thousands of commercial satellites? The night sky is changing, and I’m starting to wonder if we’re prioritizing rapid expansion over the long-term safety of our orbital environment. Are we cheering for progress, or just cheering for a traffic jam in space? #technology #space #environment https://thoxt.com/l/ZHpcGc 🔗
