Astronomers Call for Global Ban on Space Advertising Before It’s Too Late
humankind’s scientific understanding of the universe is under threat from space activities, including the proliferation of satellite constellations, space debris, and radio- and electromagnetic interference

Gizmodo · Astronomers Call for Global Ban on Space Advertising Before It's Too LateSpace advertising is not currently a problem, but the enterprise needs to be smothered before it has a chance to grow, according to a group of concerned astronomers.
The Risk of Space Junk Hitting Planes Is Rising in The Era of SpaceX
I think there's a greater risk of our children growing up, not knowing the beauty of a natural night sky with 'real' stars and constellations.

ScienceAlert · The Risk of Space Junk Hitting Planes Is Rising in The Era of SpaceXWe've yet to see a falling piece of space debris strike an airplane, but if it happens, the consequences would almost certainly be catastrophic – and according to a new study, the danger posed to planes is only rising.
NASA’s cutting-edge robotic hand aboard ISS is bringing us one step closer to a future where machines can grab objects just like humans. With a suitable propulsion system and power source, it could ultimately be used to collect debris like a space based road cleaner.

It was Starlink 5693 burning up. Here's a video from a UW-Madison camera:
An object in space that astronomers initially identified as an alarmingly close asteroid headed towards Earth turns out to be a Tesla car that Elon Musk launched in 2018 as part of a publicity campaign.
