I just proofread the American Astronomical Society response to SpaceX's response to AAS's petition to deny on SpaceX's million sat filing. It's a great document, but the fact that we need to say any of this (and spend volunteer time fighting SpaceX's highly paid lawyers) is completely infuriating.
I need to go outside now, really tough that I'm in a city and don't have a hay field available for easy rage-screaming.
I had a fantastic bike ride to the recording studio, where I recorded a podcast and probably depressed everybody with the dangerous state of orbit and reentries (almost as good as a hayfield-rage-screaming session, I guess). Now time to try to debug my incredibly bad code for the *hilarious secret project* with @astrokiwi.bsky.social
(Wish me luck, I am pretty sure I am just getting worse and worse at coding over time)
The calculation is definitely not peer-review ready, but it will be good enough for *hilarious secret project*!
Now time for an 8pm media interview about satellite pollution stuff. Which would be great, except that I have to run a fairly important Zoom meeting at 6am tomorrow (thank you very much, daylight savings time, for making this even shittier timing than it was originally).
Thank you so much for taking the time to post on here! You are amazing!
