I am an IT bod with a mountain rescue team in the UK. Personally I would bin starlink in a heartbeat. I dislike Elon, I dislike the privatisation of satellite garbage. The impact it had on the night sky, on astronomy. I dislike the pettish for abuse from a fascist American oligarchy and government.
