that's a great vision, but we don't have to trade ground-based astronomy for space-based astronomy. that would put us in a 'dark age' of astronomy for the rest of my lifetime, until all these yet-to-be-launched telescopes get built.
I started using an under-the-sink water filter once the new PFAS guidelines came out. They are very easy to install, and filters all the water that comes thru the sink's cold tap.
Gives me peace of mind, but it's not really a good solution, when nearly all our food now contains these chemicals
The number of telescopes capable of doing astronomy will get smaller, the available hours on that scope will need to be shared among all academic astronomers, and therefore, the number of people able to do astronomy will get reduced.
Having a few telescopes floating in space is not a solution. Not when there is so much space unexplored. Mankind does not own the night sky, only a few billionaires do.
You wouldn't know it from the first half hour! Can't believe the studio needed to put out posters warning audiences that 'only the first two scenes' aren't in English.
I use Inoreader, it provides a great way to quickly get up to speed on the news, without relying on 'human curators' on reddit or twitter. I've been able to add lemmy and kbin community feeds no problem, and it currently serves as my 'front page', until lemmy itself becomes more stable.
Auto-de-duplication and word filters help me keep my sanity and avoid the constant musk-worship on tech sites.
The adoption of starlink by the military is the last nail in the coffin for ground based astronomy.
fun fact: fiber optic wire doesn't have to dodge anything because it's buried in the ground
