The deployment of the SpaceX Starlink
satellites does not upset me. I think it's great that underdeveloped areas will have access to Facebook and more importantly, advertising. I reckon that the billions of dollars spent could have been used to improve the quality of life around the globe, but that's no fun.
As far as interference with Astronomical observing and photography goes, there are already over 20,000 man-made objects in orbit. What's a few thousand more? I just pretend that they are meteors. This is an image of a meteor passing between Altair and the Coathanger asterism. What a lucky catch!
