Right now there are only 60 and you can already see them? How about when there are 12,000 or 30,000 or however many they wanna put up there? It's going to cover the entire night sky.

I feel claustrophobic just thinking about it. I don't want this and I have a feeling I'm not alone in that.



Why? We are covered by thunderstorms, fog and rain; not a problem.


I'm not. Climate is not global or permanent, but a constellation of satellites like this pretty much is.


There is a lot of evidence that the albedo is going to reduce. For one the satellites are climbing higher at the moment. The solar panels are also oriented to catch the light currently as the sun sets.

It might not be as bad as you are worried about.
