From the post: "When I was a child in the 1970s, seeing a satellite pass overhead in the night sky was a rare event. Now it is commonplace: sit outside for a few minutes after dark, and you can’t miss them.

Thousands of satellites have been launched into Earth orbit over the past decade or so, with tens of thousands more planned in coming years. Many of these will be in “mega-constellations” such as Starlink, which aim to cover the entire globe."

Yeah, they have already done some work to make the new generation less reflective which is good but I still see "local" posts whenever a new batch are released about morons that take a pic of the sat's before they spread out asking what could cause the "string of lights in the sky".

You could spend 3 seconds searching and find it but people are lazy and dumb.
