All this hype is generated with each launch, and once they spread out, no one seems to care anymore  |
The thing to remember is that Starlink may be expanded to include a total of 42,000 satellites, that's 6-7 times what is currently up there. Furthermore, more companies are looking into developing and deploying similar satellite constellations. I think unless stricter regulations are put in place now we are going to face a very polluted night sky within the next decade or two.
