@sundogplanets private companies shooting things into orbit need to be regulated!

@Jennifer I think shooting things into orbit is regulated. That's why SpaceX has to ask the United States of America Federal Aviation Administration for permission before they do it. Except the United States makes up only about 4% of the world population, or represents about 6% of the world's land area. Yes, Starlink is available also outside of the United States, but even so... it's quite a gap from there to @sundogplanets's figure of 63% of active satellites being Starlink. |

They will be, just as soon as Elon has complete control of the sky.
I really think he's squatting on orbits like real estate and he plans to charge people for access at some point. Enshitification of the night sky, as it were
