Something tells me the data that is coming from satellitemap.space is very accurate especially since the NOAA has a lot of job openings now.

    It’s not GOOD for the planet, but space is a tiny fraction of impact, and a lot of activities like this are better than the alternatives.

    Instead of digging hundreds of miles of cables with trucks and shipping and clearing nature, we can send internet through space, that nature doesn’t use.

    2000 satellites is still less than a week’s production of cars at a major factory, or one tanker truck, or just about any industry’s waste.
