Over the next few decades, Elon Musk is hoping to send 42,000 Starlink satellites to space. With these satellites, SpaceX hopes to bring high-speed satellite internet to every corner of the world. But experts worry it may come at a hefty cost, blocking astronomers' views and potentially space exploration for decades.

Geez, just make a dyson sphere around the sun already.

I hope he doesn't. I'm an amateur astronomer returning to the hobby after about 25 years, and the number of artificial satellites up there now is unbelieveable. Wherever you look in the sky within 5 or 10 minutes one will obstruct your field of view, or more than one going in different directions. Sometimes you'll see two or threee moving along together. It used to be "Wow, there's an artificial satellite....

I laughed when he said "detect a near Earth object and stop it from hitting Earth!" 🤣🤣🤣 Like as if we have the capability to stop a large Asteroid from hitting Earth.

Wonderfully demonstrated. Loved your presentation. It was a concise, comprehensible, and a detailed video at the same time.

Imagine playing Cod using Starling and then you hear some Alien talking in the chat😂.

This seems cool, just as long as this STAYS "StarLink" and DOES NOT transform into anything like "SkyNet."

The scene of WallE blasting through the atmosphere which is literally covered in a layer of space debris...that scene comes to mind

It's something that really makes me feel like there will never be anyplace left on earth that we cannot escape the "smart grid " really it's kind of creepy in my opinion.

You forgetting that in altitudes of 200 to 400 km any debry will experience strong atmospheric drag and will fall down and burn in the atmosphere within a few years. Not decades or centuries. Do your research right before spreading misinformation.

Does this mean we can’t see the night sky as clearly anymore? Thats kinda sad, isnt it?
