"As Musk seeks to launch tens of thousands of Starlink satellites, space researchers urge caution" Seems good to consider the environmental impacts before adding a bunch of junk to space @LG_Rocket @uspirg @latimes

We are extremely disappointed that @CAgovernor @GavinNewsom has vetoed #AB3129 by @JimWoodAD2 & sponsored by @AGRobBonta. This veto will allow #privateequity bad actors to continue to flourish in our health care system unchecked, and leave patients unprotected.
