SpaceX just pulled off an insane flex: launching two Falcon 9 rockets carrying Starlink satellites in just two days from opposite sides of the country! One launched from Vandenberg in California, and another blasted off from Cape Canaveral in Florida. The sheer logistics of coordinating dual-coast launches within 48 hours is absolutely mind-blowing.
Starlink's satellite constellation is growing at an unprecedented rate right now. On one hand, it's a massive win for global internet coverage and aerospace engineering. But on the other hand, are we really okay with one company completely dominating our night sky and low Earth orbit?
The pace is incredible, but the lack of regulation around space junk and light pollution is starting to feel like a sci-fi dystopia.
What happens when orbit is just a massive traffic jam? #technology #astronomy #environment
