    Exactly what I've noted in the past. Starlink has almost no impact on
    science.

    Impact or no impact, Starlink system cost is $10 billion.
    I don't think, Musk gives a crap for a few ruined amateur astro photos?

    Billionaires at his level don't even associate with people beneath their class, they can go their entire lives doing that.
    Also, other organizations and companies and politicians live in mortal terror of offending someone like that so even if
    he truly threatened ground-based astronomy, you'd never near more than an odd story about it.

    1800. 23000 later. Think once the entire sky is suffused in their glow, they'll have an impact?

    So as light pollution on earth?

    No!

    Big money rules, Dude!
    It's not only the cost of Starlink, but the money it generates in the future. Hole world economy's money system will be riding on it, banking, stock market, specially the cryptos!
    A lot at stake!

    He probably doesn't it. And really, shouldn't. (Especially as no
    amateur astroimages will get ruined by any of these satellites.)

    Nope. They're still largely invisible to the eye. And they still won't
    have significant impact on science, because tracks going through
    images don't affect results.

    These things are dim. They are very hard to see visually. And the only
    time they are lit is near twilight, when it's not dark, anyway.

    People have been working on this for at least 30 years, and great
    advances have been made in the last 5 or so.
