- Elon Musk on Twitter: There are already 4900 satellites in orbit, which people notice ~0% of the time. Starlink won’t be seen by anyone unless looking very carefully & will have ~0% impact on advancements in astronomy. We need to move telelscopes to orbit anyway. Atmospheric attenuation is terrible. https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1132897322457636864?s=19 487 comments spacex
