if i get filthy rich (bezos level), i'll develop a space laser thingy to shoot down all satellites which are visible at dusk and dawn.

@bonifartius "Shoot down" doesn't work for objects in orbit. You just create more objects, in new orbits.
Need to catch them, and slow them down for them to fall back to Earth

@bonifartius

You could toast them enough so that they're no longer reflective.

(Not sure if there are enough O2 molecules in LEO to do that though.)
