Holy hell! I'd read about the issues with the satellites, astronomy, and space junk. I agree that adding thousands upon thousands of satellites that are destined to burn up is not a great idea.
But I didn't realize how bad things are now. I installed Stellarium, and began looking at the night sky. Light pollution and cloud cover makes my part of New England horrible for star gazing. I haven't looked up really in forever.
The app showed hundreds of satellites. WTF!
