Poor astronomers can't even enjoy the stars anymore. What a fucked up world.

The newer Starlink satellites have visors to reduce their brightness.

Reduced launch costs will also allow for the creation of bigger, better, and cheaper space telescopes.

I can't use a space telescope from my back porch

No, but when there are lots of them you might be able to rent one to use from your desktop computer. I know I’d throw down occasionally to get time on a space telescope.
