Lots of truly terrible stuff is happening in the US government, but 2 senators just reintroduced the "Dark and Quiet Skies Act" to protect the sky from light pollution and satellite pollution and that's a really big step in the right direction! https://www.hickenlooper.senate.gov/wp-content/uploads/2025/11/Dark-and-Quiet-Skies-Act-119th-Congress.pdf

@sundogplanets Thisnis awesome.
Thank you for sharing this good news!
I’ll call my rep to say please support.
@sundogplanets yeah weird times. Trump threatens his enemies with death and people are kind of like, yeah, whatever #taco. Do your worst, poopy pants.
So ... does the bill allow for enforcement by shooting the infringing satellites down? Or, to avoid having the re-enter atmosphere, knocking them into the sun. If not, it's not serious.
Obviously I'm being silly. And a little wishful thinking.
@sundogplanets yes that's true message me directly so we can discuss further

@sundogplanets @Jillianmarisa OMG, do we really need this! Every time they put in another fucking data center they light the damn thing up like they're expecting an alien spacecraft to come and land there. It is the absolute worst part of these data centers.

Even Republicans recognize that Elon Musk has & will use his Starlink satellites to benefit himself & his technocrats.
Placing private for-profit monopolies in charge of national security is a very bad idea.

He's indifferent to whether it benefits Russia or America.

Musk works for the fossil fuel interests frying the planet.
https://kyivindependent.com/ukraine-affected-as-starlink-suffers-global-outage/
He's made Starlink deliberately unreliable for personal & partisan gain.

All of Europe is at risk as Starlink outages are used to foil Ukraine's defense.
Controlling the means of global communication in preparation for fossil fuel funded fascism is what matters most to Musk & his cronies.

Low earth orbit space junk from Musk's poor-quality satellites have the potential to foil missile detection of ICBM's

@sundogplanets At the very least it gets the conversation into the public sphere
@sundogplanets is Musk aware about that?
Thank you to come with good (envirenomental) news.
We ned it!
@sundogplanets I didn't know Hickenlooper is still around lol
Of course, meanwhile, the FCC has put forward a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking describing itself as a "licensing assembly line" https://www.fcc.gov/document/space-modernization-21st-century-nprm so I"m not super hopeful. But it will maybe educate a few people in government if nothing else?
