I very much appreciate the way they wrote this: "SpaceX, which recently reported two Starlink satellite failures that created new space debris, yesterday accused Amazon and its launch partner Arianespace of negligence that 'needlessly and significantly increases risk to other operational systems and inhabited spacecraft.'”

It's too bad that 2 giant evil companies hating each other does not result in anything cancelling out, and will probably just cause more problems...
