Anyone else worried about 42,000 satellites floating above our heads? I watched a Starlink train cross the night sky from my backyard last night .

Used to be amazed by these "internet constellations" until I learned they consume as much energy as a small city. And that's not counting the rocket fuel needed to launch them.

Sure, they're connecting remote villages to the internet. But at what cost?

The space junk problem is getting wild. Every failed satellite becomes a 7,000 mph projectile. We're basically playing cosmic dodgeball with our future space missions.

Think we can find a sweet spot between global connectivity and not turning Earth's orbit into a celestial junkyard?

Weirdly torn between wanting high-speed internet everywhere and keeping our night skies clear enough to see actual stars.

Drop your thoughts - are space internet satellites worth the environmental trade-off?
