TBH I think any more low orbit telecom satellite arrays than we already have are just going to become a huge problem in the following decades.

Starlink is already being a problem currently, and it's not even fully deployed

This has been commented before.

Starlink flies at a very low altitude, meaning relatively high atmospheric drag, and a very short period of time before their sats deorbit if they go dead, less than ten years.

It's nowhere near the problem everyone makes it out to be.

Official statemens claim they run for about 5 years, deorbit anywhere, and do NOT always burn up in reentry.

And the aluminium that does burn up, eats away at the ozone layer.

Until we find out that not nearly as much burns up on re-entry as assumed and they've been raining carcinogens for decades.

I didn't say it wasn't a problem at all.

I hate the fact that they just got "permission" to destroy the view of the nightsky.
