The American Astronomical Society's 2nd round petition to deny (written by me and many others) is now published: https://pub-92a1d770e9be416e8558d475b4b5b847.r2.dev/afb0661e-408a-4b87-b72e-87c20f38b0cd.pdf

Every single section starts with "SpaceX's Opposition does not resolve the concerns raised by AAS" because they fucking didn't resolve anything (but at least they didn't openly mock astronomers like they did with Amazon a Viasat. Wild.)

Special shout-out to the fedi-person who suggested the Indianapolis 500 crash analogy, which made it in to our response!

@sundogplanets I think they are using all you super smart folks to do research for them. Also I suspect that this approach helps set out the playing field so to speak on the game of getting approval.

What's the 'other hand' doing here?
