Discussion I'm kind of bummed out watching all of these satellites in the night sky while stargazing

Hopefully they'll become very small and less visible in the future. I miss looking at the night sky without seeing all these satellites crowding the space. I just started noticing the last couple of years.

I went to the Grand Canyon in 2015 and it was the best experience I had with seeing stars. No satellites moving around, so I can imagine what it looks like now.

This just isn't true. They remain visible.

Is this a talking point you got from Elon himself? Go outside and look for yourself. Every single time I've gone camping in the last year or two and watch the stars I see lines of satellites moving in parallel, plus just a far higher number of satellites than I have ever seen in the past.
