Starlink satellites flashing like shooting stars with time exposure. Dozens could be seen in rapid succession near our orbital dawn and dusk, when their solar panels reflected sunlight at the proper angles. I took this on Expedition 72 to the ISS.

Garbage is the one thing separating our species from all the rest.

The end of ground based astronomy. It was fun while it lasted.
Yes, I know…..it can be processed out, but I still hate what Musk has done to the sky for EVERYONE and ANYWHERE on the planet.

So stupid that we are allowing the rich racist and the military industrial complex to destroy our outer atmosphere. All stary nights are ruined now. So lame.

I guess we haven’t talked enough about orbital pollution.

Starlink is such a cancer. I’m glad humans figured out how to exploit and polute our atmosphere directly, instead of just letting our toxic fumes and burning of fossil fuels do all the work.

Next he wants to put a million more satellites in space…
as data centers.

Once they get their desired amount up in the sky it’s going to end up looking like Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
