The actual sane take. I swear musk is constantly living rent free in way too many peoples minds.

Honestly, what I took from this is we should have more telescopes that operate outside of the orbits of commercial satellites.

That’s what scientists have wanted anyway, even without the occasional satellite there is a lot of interference. I wouldn’t be surprised if they leveraged this to try to get more funding for more of them they wouldn’t get otherwise.

I wouldn’t mind if my taxes got increased if it meant we had a proper fleet of James Webb-esque telescopes out there.
