The end of Iridium Flares

SpaceX just launched 10 replacement Iridium satellites, the first of some 70 replacements.
“Due to design improvements, our new satellites unfortunately are not expected to create flares, so enjoy Iridium flares while you can,” Iridium says on its website.
Damn! I enjoyed catching the bright ones!
