And the bigger one of the two I mentioned right now is the exponential computation issue ( https://www.space.com/starlink-satellite-conjunction-increase-threatens-space-sustainabilit ). Because he is doing his best to blot out the sun the total number of satellites have increased dramatically. In a generic sense this is a bit of a problem but because he does so so *extremely* haphazardly it becomes a big problem as now each of the software suites that have to factor in the bloat. Now satellites are set up to automatically dodge one another somewhat so nothing problematic has happened so far, but all of these near misses requires that the satellites move out of their original paths. Prior to Musk this wasn't really something that happened at all, but with him the number became an actual figure. And because of these changes happening it is having an exponential domino effect in that every month is a new record for near misses. While it is still at the "near miss" stage this sort of exponential growth of an issue is apparent in how it's going to be a problem: eventually it won't be a near miss, and then it's going to go from big problem to "Welp, we just lost space."
ok, i am somewhat familiar with all that, i just didn't realize how big an effect starlink itself was causing.
i will also mention, because i forgot to earlier, that my opinion of starlink dropped when it was apparently dropped for Ukraine near the beginning of the invasion. that should never have been allowed to be a possibility.
