The Death of Astronomy?

3. The true impact remains to be seen

But with the staggering amount of these things planned to go up this has got a lot of people spooked.
Plenty of people have a lot of money invested in imaging the night sky, myself included and if everyone of those subs is littered with satellites well people are already questioning their investment in the hobby/art.
For now you can manage the plane trails and satellites in the images as there are relatively few in your imaging run but if they put 10s of thousands of these up there then who knows?

It may not be a problem but lots of people are waiting to see how this ends up.

Frankly I'm staggered they even got permission for this but hey theat's the FCC making global decisions I guess.

The way I see it is unless the proposal is that you and I and everyone personally get free, high speed internet then it is not worth it. And of course nothing is ever free.
