Starlink satellites executed 25,000 avoidance maneuvers over a recent six-month period—an orbital situation that's set to become even more challenging.
The only reason for starlink to exist is because telcos were allowed to ignore building out infrastructure to serve more areas. I don’t know if incentives were ever provided to get them the capital to be willing to build out the infrastructure in less populates/rural areas.
Realizing that we have turned earth orbit into a garbage pile simply because we refused to step up and do right by our citizens instead of maximizing capitalism certainly stings.
