hypertrophy and congestion now launched into space

Aug 6, 2025

Starlink is a satellite internet constellation operated by Starlink Services, LLC, an international telecommunications provider that is a wholly owned subsidiary of Elon Musk’s aerospace company SpaceX, which began launching Starlink satellites in 2019. As of May 2025, the constellation consists of over 7,600 mass-produced small satellites in low Earth orbit. Nearly 12,000 satellites are planned, with a possible later extension to 34,400.

Unsurprisingly, they’ll soon have to build three more lanes in the space highway to accommodate the never-ending congestion.

O, humanity . . .
Please leave space alone.
Please leave the moon alone.
Please leave Mars alone.
Please leave the cosmos alone.
