What's more important? Global internet access for the rest of the world population or a few dozen telescopes? Imo internet access is going to have immediate positive impact for billions of global disconnected poor.
(This is a m-e-t-a-p-h-o-r, not a literal proposal, but what Starlink is doing to astronomy on a global scale is pretty much equivalent. The onus should be on Starlink to (a) not do that, or (b) pay for complete relocation or replacement of the telescopes they've just wrecked. Yes, that's a lot of money. Boo hoo ...)
Why? Astronomers have no more claim to ownership of the sky than Starlink does.
do you really think that? is that why companies like facebook are so interested in third-world markets? or is it because they want to elevate their ability to siphon user data and hack human emotions to become addicted for more and more money, and also that facebook wants there to be little distinction between them and and the internet in these markets?
i don't think the internet has had as big of a positive impact on society as people think it has. in no other time in history has there existed such a powerful medium for control and manipulation.
and this is ignoring the fact that most of elon's projects are born out of narcissism and hubris.
