There was a NASA lady on StarTalk recently talking about how there's something like 360,000 more satellites planned/approved to go into orbit and it's going to completely erase the night sky. We're at something like 7700 currently.
We are slowly turning ourselves into Krikkit.
Soon as we invented the little green piece of paper it was all downhill from there
Should never have gotten down from the trees
But digital watches are pretty cool, aren't they?
Ehh apparently it’s 11330 as of the end of June this year.

If you have seen that StarTalk episode, do you remember what Neil DeGrasse Tyson's response to that? He seems like good people..
I don't recall offhand his response but I believe it was this episode: https://startalkmedia.com/show/the-story-of-space-imaging-with-carolyn-madam-saturn-porco/
What was it?
