    The market will select for companies which and most profitable.

    Starlink v2 satelites will ruin science.
  • They cannot simply shift them. There are huge regulatory machines that would need to approve such an event. At most they could cut off using some of their band and use less of it, but that comes at the cost of customer service.

    A satellite passing over your head will travel about 4,500KM from horizon to horizon (assuming low earth orbit). Turning off the radios over that span of distance would mean entire countries don't get starlink traffic any time a radio telescope needs that band, and my suspicion is they need them often.

    Honestly, we need to get more of these things off earth to continue this sort of research.
