I had thought about the concerns of too much space junk and astronaut safety, but not the problem of ruining the ancient tradition of enjoying the night sky.
Hope they can "black out" the satellites or something.

If we ever get a clear night I should be able to see them- we have very little ambient light.

That seems like a lot of satellites when we are already concerned about space junk.

Slight off topic but anyone ever catch an Iridium Flare? Crazy thing to watch but their newer satellites don't do it.
