Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"

The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc

Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!

25 years ago today students at Luther Burbank School in Illinois made history with the world's first school-to-International Space Station contact via amateur radio.

Just weeks ago, another Illinois school—Lincoln Magnet—continued the tradition, helping cap off 2025 with 77 STEM contacts worldwide.

From 1 to thousands: Inspiring the next generation! Congratulations to all involved!
