Why not vantablack them? I thought they were already sending prototypes up that aren’t reflective and avoid the light pollution problem.

The real issue is when other countries that don’t give a shit throw stuff up there and we can’t do much about it.

Dude, we are the country that doesn't give a shit and throws stuff up there and we can't do much about it. WE ARE.

I mean. We shouldn't probably. But can't is a pretty strong word for that. Non reflective paint is a great idea. Stealth satellites.
