With ISRO coming on strong, and Russia alienating most of the world, I’m fascinated by what this could turn into in the next couple years

~~France X5 and~~ india X3
Big respect to ISRO, but you read France's Arianespace backwards. They were more of an X/5 situation.
You are right... my head was looking for positive changes for some reason. What happened with france?

And they're on track for ~130 this year.
SpaceX launched about 429,125 kg of spacecraft upmass in Q1, followed by CASC with about 29,426 kg
Smaller satellites (<1,200 kg) represented 96% of spacecraft launched in Q1, 76% of total upmass
So the way I'm personally reading this is 2/3 of this is starlink launches
And launching space junk and making viewing the stars less and less clear at an historic rate.

Stop supporting Elon.
I'll definitely boycott SpaceX now (puts "activist" in bio)
