Reply to comment by iodine_breakfast in Satellite Constellations Are an Existential Threat for Astronomy by ChieftainMcLeland

How many important ground based observations have been made while space based satellites are looking in another direction? Rhetorical of course but still.

I'll say this one last time but I'm not going to beat a dead horse with more replies afterwards: The article title is clickbait garbage. Existential threat has an actual definition that is well understood, and it means threat of being 100% wiped out. This is clearly not the case, despite real concerns for terrestrial astronomy.
