The guy who actually made the image seems to just think it's cool: "I knew if I carried on it would look even better and more impressive in terms of satellite numbers."
replyBut the framing from others is terrible. "Who gave anyone permission do this?" Um, every single satellite ever launched has gone through government approvals. Sorry if you didn't start paying attention to the world of space flight until it ruined your attempt at photography, but that's on you.
lol what. Regular citizens don’t get a say on satellites and many would prefer we didn’t put so many up. “National Security” will trump any citizen concerns every time.
replyTo be fair, the majority of satellites now seems to exist because "money" will trump any citizen concerns every time.
replyAgreed, I should’ve added that as the other overriding case
replyNot sure how you saw "government" and read it as "regular citizens," but do go back and read it again.
replyExactly. The regular citizens don’t get to participate in the decision.
