"Right now, the number of maneuvers is growing exponentially," Hugh Lewis, a professor of astronautics at the University of Southampton in the U.K. and a leading expert on the impact of megaconstellations on orbital safety, told Space.com. "It's been doubling every six months, and the problem with exponential trends is that they get to very large numbers very quickly."

Oh boy.

I'm generally pro space technology, but I hope SpaceX learns the hard way that a constellation like this isn't physically possible and makes everyone else cancel their planned ones. Best case scenario they create kessler syndrome and ground every spacecraft on Earth until enough debris comes back down (shouldn't take more than a year at their altitude) and it sparks some kind of international outrage/UN regulation against megaconstellations.
