The quote says "it will stop us doing science in that spectrum."

They can filter out starlink's frequencies. What else does that filter out? If the radio telescope uses that spectrum, they can't filter it out and continue to do their work. As I understand, this would be all radio telescopes looking within our solar system.

Space pollution frustrates me because there's truly nothing I can do about it. Maybe someone will democratize a laser or something to shoot down these bullshit non-science satellites, like some Johnny Pneumonic shit, or was it Escape from L.A., no, it was Congo.
