       | This article frames the problem as if the value proposition of
       | the science and the satellites is remotely similar. This couldn't
       | be farther from the truth. Satellite telecommunication is greatly
       | improving life on earth. Astrophysics, not so much. Just last
       | week there was a front page HN article about how satellites may
       | replace undersea cables for niche use cases. Starlink is just a
       | major player in the space. This article is trying to utilize
       | Musk's negative reputation to its own end. The truth of the
       | article would have been much clearer if it simply mentioned
       | Starlink as an example.

       | There's something to be said for satellites making true immersion
       | in "natural beauty" impossible. Making that out to be negative is
       | a matter of perspective. Frankly, I think it's selfish to wish to
       | hinder the massive gains in utility for humanity satellites
       | bring.
