have I mentioned yet this week that Starlink harms astronomical research, is degrading the ozone layer, and is too expensive and congested to help rural americans most in need of affordable broadband access at scale?

oh and the company is also run by an overt white supremacist
Starlink was out briefly today in parts of the US as SpaceX successfully launched more satellites to bolster its constellation... www.cnbc.com/2025/08/18/s... The company wants to doubles its launches from SoCal. But Calif. Coastal Commission is saying no (so far). Battle brewing.

Elon Musk's aerospace and defense contractor also successfully launched a fresh group of satellites to bolster its Starlink network.

In other news, after having bought it years ago, I’m finally reading ”The Milky Way — An Autobiography Of Our Galaxy” by @goastromo.bsky.social and it’s really interesting, surprisingly funny, and well-written enough that even someone with a cold and a light fever can follow along 🌌
