Save Our Stars - Under Lucky Stars

SpaceX is looking to send thousands of satellites into low-Earth orbit by the end of 2020. We’re on a mission to Save Our Stars and we need your help!

SpaceX aims to launch another 1,600 orbiting routers by the end of 2020. To put this into context, humanity has launched fewer than 9,000 satellites into space since the 1950s! But this is just the beginning.

SpaceX and similar companies have strong incentives to keep rapidly increasing the size of their satellite constellations over time, greatly outweighing the number of stars which can be seen by the human eye and potentially ruining our view of the night sky forever!

That’s why we’re on a mission to #SaveOurStars.
