I had to find a couple of papers for one of my students to review and I just looked at all the new papers on satellite observations and predictions for satellite pollution and now I am super depressed.

What's currently playing out in Low Earth Orbit is the worst parts of capitalism, on fast-forward (literally at several km/s if you want to get technical...) It's so bad. Orbit needs strong, international regulation 20 years ago.

Great point, I am not sure how many star link satellites are up there but there must be a 10s of thousands.

Are you able to share links to these papers please or are they not available to the public yet, (no problem, I was just thinking for context).
