i remember when i was a kid, i was hiking with my parents and we spent a night on about 2500m and looking up i obviously had a great view of the cosmos BUT i also could see some satelites moving and even the then MIR space station. i was impressed that “we” are actually up there for everyone down here to see. i guess the current generation want’s a pristine night sky AND 24/7 internet, gps and tv.
The current generation, AND the previous generation (that being millennials, many of whom are now in their 40s) both would rather the natural beauty of our entire planet not be destroyed just so the likes of Elon Musk can sell a product.
move out of the city, away from any night light and then just ignore the occasional ring of dots that takes up like 0.00003% of the night sky for the average stargazer; why does everyone now pretend to be copernicus?

Why not both? Like we’ve had for…decades.

It’s just a way to be a doomer and hate on tech, certain groups are desperate to find any excuse to hate anything new.
