I got asked to speak to a Very Important group of people about the many terrible environmental consequences of satellite megaconstellations (collisions, atmospheric pollution, ground casualty risks) and I was wavering because it's a really really long trip and it has to be in-person (I guess because Very Important people can't Zoom or something...)

Anyway. This calculation made my decision for me. I'm going to yell at the most important people I can, hopefully it will help. (More details later)

@sundogplanets ain't there a military purpose behind such a crazy satellite density?

Oof way too many replies for me to go through here, and while some are hilarious, some of them are really frustrating (yes, I know how orbits work, and I'm pretty darn good at math).

Signing off for a bit to focus on some other ways to teach people about the terrifyingly bad situation in orbit.

All the dystopian post-apocalytic movies & series we see these days, can we get one quality series set in a world 100 years into the future where simply all the medium-bad predictions turn out to be true?
