China is launching a large number of Starlink type broadband satellites, I believe the number is 14,000! These are apparently much brighter than Elon's Starlink (At least he tried to make them dark). I do find it hard to believe that there are 14,000 orbital position left, with all the cap up there already. Here is a link to the articke:
