Musk's Starlink system of satellites are on their way to filling the night skies, making land based astronomy remarkably more difficult. As of November, there are 6,700 Starlink satellites in orbit. The aim is to have 34,400 of them.

Musk has sold it as way to liberate those outside of cities by providing web access. In reality, it is a way for him act as a conduit through which ever more communication flows. When you control information, you have more power.

Symbolically, it is a way for Musk to mark his territory like a canine lifting his leg next to a post or tree. He's spraying his piss across the world's most majestic and wondrous backdrop.

Why aliens are so intent on sticking gadgets up our asses is one of the Universe's greatest mysteries.
