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 #SpaceX’s proposal to launch a million satellites is astronomical vandalism. #satellite #astronomy
