This is a public service announcement so no one else gets as freaked-out as I was when I saw them!
To: Ronaldus Magnus
I saw those 30 years ago...

Puny earthlings.
Pay no attention to these lights.
They are merely satellites.
Return to your duties.
That is all.

Similar here, We were out camping and my kids could not sleep for a few days after. Just night before last my teenage Grandkids were discussing UFOs and my daughter gave me the “side look”. Yep, it still has her locked in... :)

Good, because there is already enough crap messing up my view of the heavens...

“...too far west” Huh? You do know they orbit the earth? Just have to check Heavens Above or similar website to find a pass over your location.

I meant right now, this pass, I’ll check and found out when they pass my way.
To: ptsal
Pretty incredible that from the time of launch, including the deployment of 60 satellites, and then re-entry and landing took a total time of 8 minutes and 26 seconds!
To: bigbob
Then these were not what we saw 30 years ago were they... :)

Apple has announced a future Apple-phone ability to use satellite linkage as a direct-connect option, avoiding a need of ground based services for communication.
To: Openurmind
We are going to look like Saturn!
"As of November 2019, SpaceX has deployed 122 satellites. They plan to deploy 60 more per Falcon 9 launch, with launches as often as every two weeks after late 2019. In total, nearly 12,000 satellites will be deployed by the mid-2020s, with a possible later extension to 42,000." - wiki
To: Ozark Tom
That should help in areas with no ground based cellular service. Remote areas and third world countries.
