I used the word "junk" not to suggest we're putting too much debris in orbit. It was to say that this stuff is borderline useless. I did some research on starlink, and it looks like most of their users live in the US and just signed up because our country is so dysfunctional it can't offer fiber to people living in places like downtown San Francisco (!). I guess I wish we'd solve the actual problems here instead of engaging in weird space fantasies.
