Good morning,

Never posted on here before but have been looking more and more in this direction since the lockdown occurred.

I was just wanting to get a perspective from anyone who knows more about Elon Musks' starlight train. We were able to see them last night in Bangor Co. Down and from what I have read there are 300 up there already, with the aim to put 12,000 up for the first phase.
Following this another 30,000 will be there and be able to form a constellation.

The part that worries me is they claim it is for faster broadband speeds globally but surely they have other more sinister abilities. I know there is a lot of junk in space already and fear this is adding to that.

We as a race have been accused of destroying the earth through plastics and fossil fuel use. None of us were asked at the time if we wanted to use these things but are now shamed and berated for doing so?

Now the stratosphere is being pebble dashed with low flying satellites and there seems to be nobody standing in the way of Musk doing this, in twenty years will we be accused of aiding Musk to fill our night skies with junk which seems unnecessary.

If he can manoeuvre them so easily to make this constellation what else might they be used for?

Is this all just a case of if you have money you can do what you want or is he being backed by someone else?

We live in worrying times, I fear for my children and what sort of life they will have under constant scrutiny from governments, big businesses and anyone else who can get into the system illegally.

Sorry to go on but any insight from anyone who knows more than I can find would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have a good day generation lock down and stay safe.
