Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service".

@sundogplanets just discovered about this Reflect Orbital thing. What the hell?!

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: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc
Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!
@sundogplanets I don't understand how the FCC gets to decide on satellites that cover the whole world. Why are. Musk satellites above Ireland or NZ?

@sundogplanets Plus. It's open for comments worldwide. Right?
@Tony_Meredith well, space doesn't belong to the USA! @sundogplanets

@sundogplanets This imperialism of the USA is crazy. Space doesn't belong to them. No international regulations? Countries with other languages will have a problem with these forms. (And BTW, as European I don't trust US forms at all.)
