Space is alot bigger than you think or make out, the effects on astronomy are short lived while they get into position

I would take the astronomers opinion [1] on how "big" is space over a throwaway HN shill reassuring me that I am idiot worrying too much.

Do the same astronomers also propose banning lights being on at night?

While you might have a point, "the impact is too small to worry" is now the meme answer to any problem we should probably worry about before it becomes a huge deal with too big to fail players.

The more reassuring answer could be "there's already regulation Y that stops any single company from causing too much damage."
