I commend Elon Musk and Space X for getting off their butts, taking a huge risk and re energising the worlds Space industry again since its 2011 with low earth orbit satellite deployment, manned missions to ISS , proposed lunar and planetary manned missions , and many other technological milestones.
Unfortunately us astronomers ( amateur or professional) were always going to sacrifice some of our relatively clear night skies for the advancement of Space technology and science into the future whether it be Space X or any other Space technology company.
It was an incredible time living through the Apollo Space race era as a kid and teenager and now it’s starting to happen all over again 50 years later anticipating manned missions back to the Moon in 4 years and Mars in the next 12 to 15 years
Exciting times ahead !!
