This is hideously depressing (here come the megabright satellites, screw you AST Spacemobile). But I am delighted that these authors (none of whom I've ever worked with before) use the word "megaconstellation" with no qualifiers!
Did you know that satellite companies HATE the word megaconstellation and keep requesting astronomers not use that word?
Did I mention that a significant fraction of my recently published papers have the word "megaconstellation" in the title?
