Reply to comment by anti-torque in SpaceX launches 54 upgraded Starlink internet satellites and nails rocket landing at sea in 60th flight of the year by upyoars

Because it's neat to look at things in orbit. A lot of people like to look for the ISS, and you could just as easily say it's just light pollution.
