Sorry not to step in cheering this.
I think now the time has come to raise massive taxes on these
things which violate the heaven above.
The sheer number of rocket resource needed to keep these lines
closed is ridiculous.  Is there any science going on on improving
the situation regarding this?  Space lift?
And i am very, very thankful that at least the newer satellites of
_that_ company seem to hide their solar panel reflections from the
earth, it always have been moments of deeply felt hate seeing
these (?) lines of satellites flying by (following each other
within ~30 seconds), i personally would have shoot them.
I know there are cultures on this world which feel the same.

Thank you.
(And i _love_ books, battered or not.)
