YOU are a murderer.

My sister was bleeding to death from an incomplete miscarriage of a very much wanted pregnancy in Ohio ten years ago. You know how they fix that problem? The exact same medical procedure that is used for elective abortion.

You would have preferred that my sister bleed to death or die of sepsis for no reason. You are trying to murder my sister.

In case you think that doesn't really happen:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Savita_Halappanavar

"On 21 October 2012, Halappanavar, then 17 weeks pregnant, was examined at University Hospital Galway after complaining of back pain, but was soon discharged without a diagnosis. She returned to the hospital later that day, this time complaining of lower pressure, a sensation she described as feeling "something coming down", and a subsequent examination found that the gestational sac was protruding from her body. She was admitted to hospital, as it was determined that miscarriage was unavoidable, and several hours later, just after midnight on 22 October, her water broke but did not expel the fetus.[8]: 22–26 [8]: 29 [9] The following day, on 23 October, Halappanavar discussed abortion with her consulting physician but her request was promptly refused, as Irish law at that time forbade abortion if a fetal heartbeat was still present.[8]: 33 [10] Afterwards, Halappanavar developed sepsis and, despite doctors' efforts to treat her, had a cardiac arrest at 1:09 AM on 28 October, and died, aged 31"

And you just WON!!! I love you, thank you so so much. My sister suffered an incomplete miscarriage in Ohio a decade ago. A ban on abortion could have killed her. You just saved my sister's life. I just want you to know about the real people you're actually helping and please go out there and keep being awesome.

Standard issue Musk brain rot.

"Shouldn't have satellites" at all vs. "maybe let's not approve this one corporation doing this completely unregulated activity." If you really can't tell the difference between those two things, I can't help you.

"limited to how nonreflective they can get the satellites"

Citation needed.

The smartest workers reap the rewards.

Or we could regulate the reflectivity of satellites. No one is suggesting we shouldn't have satellites. Why don't we do satellites on purpose in a way that still allows us to also do effective astronomy?

And we now have the career experience from working Covid front lines combined with the aftermath of the Great Resignation, making us even more in demand. Yeah, I'm also one of the few doing better financially after Covid than before.

The US federal science agencies are generally pretty happy with sharing things. If it's free to the US public, it's free to the world and I love that. Best possible use of my tax dollars.

(We also share weather and hurricane data with the Caribbean countries, for example. None of them could individually afford what the US is doing, so I'm happy we share.)

No one walks out of any negotiation ever in any situation with everything they were asking for in the beginning. That's how it works.
