Well, I have now been quoted calling SpaceX "fuckweasels" in a real publication by real journalists: https://au.pcmag.com/ai/116598/spacex-to-start-small-with-1-million-satellite-plan-pushes-back-on-critics

I guess I am proud of myself? (They are, indeed, fuckweasels, for their complete lack of care for the atmosphere that we all depend on, as well as not caring about Kessler Syndrome, or light pollution, or smashing people on the ground...)

SpaceX To Start Small With 1 Million Satellite Plan, Pushes Back On Critics

The company's rebuttal to the FCC mentions launching orbital data center constellation in phases, and studying potential atmospheric impacts. SpaceX also threw plenty of shade at Amazon.

You'll be delighted to know that there's yet another mob who are aiming to launch a constellation of satellites. Inappropriately named the "Hubble Network"; nothing to do with Hubble, and will screw up astronomy even more than it has been.

Someone needs to remind these idiots that the Kessler Syndrome is a thing (and may already be taking hold).
