Welp, I'm giving another talk on satellite pollution so I have to update the numbers in my slides.

*checks planet4589.org/space/con/star/ and celestrak.org/NORAD/elements/t*

Oh crap, there are 150 more Starlinks than when I gave a talk on this topic 1 month ago.

3908 Starlink satellites out of 7545 total satellites.

52% of all sats now owned by one awful dude. Still with effectively no regulations. This is so bad.
