Ok that took a little longer than I thought. Do I want it to be on letterhead? Will my university be annoyed? I *am* writing as part of my job as a researcher who requires access to dark skies, but I am not writing on behalf of my university. Will go with blank background for this one.

Now working my way through the instructions here: aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02

I already have a Cores account, signed in and clicking on things...

Submitted!

I am an astronomer who has asked nicely for years for SpaceX to be safer in orbit, think about ways to use fewer satellites, think about the consequences of burning up so many satellites, and think about ways to make their satellites darker. This filing proposing a million satellites is a clear "fuck you" from SpaceX to the entire astronomy community, as well as the entire planet.

So, fuck you, too, SpaceX!

I helped write and edit comments that were submitted by multiple organizations that I'm a member of about SpaceX's fucking stupid awful million sat filing, but I haven't submitted my own yet. After a week of emotionally grueling (but incredibly important) work supporting a good friend, battling the FCC submission process doesn't sound so bad anymore!

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"

The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02

Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!

ビジネスライクなコミュニケーションの時にダラダラ言い訳を相手に送り付けないようにしてるんだけど、結果『ご指摘ありがとうございます、対応しました』だけになりがちで、昔の先輩の『色々考えた結果チャットで送る文章がシンプルになりがちで気づいたら怖がられてる時あるんだよね』という話を思い出してる
