Re: Now, would you please stop proposing to hurl 60,000 Starlinks into low orbit ..

To be fair it's only 42,000:

And why do you want him to stop?

LEO surface area (assuming LEO = 2000km above Earth's surface [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low_Earth_orbit]) ~8.81x10^8 square km, which for 42k satellites gives ~20,976 sq.km per satellite.

So it's not like there's a shortage of space (ba dum tshhh) up there.
