    I bet we figure out that launching all these satellites into orbit was premature and we’ve created a new irreversible disaster that private companies knew about but hide from us since they also control social media now

      In the case of Starlink satellites they’re in a low orbit, and will naturally de-orbit after about 5 years, so they won’t really be a big space problem in the future.
