As an astronomer, I am supportive of this tech to deliver vital comms services to regional, rural and remote regions needing connectivity access, as opposed to putting tens of thousands of satellites in orbit.
As an astronomer, I must also accept the UFO sighting reports to exponentially increase.

One of my favourite things about doing e.g. Hamiltonian dynamics with perturbation theory by hand is that it makes me feel like an old timey astronomer

Reminded of the quip that the disbanding of the Jesuits was terrible news for Hell.
(That is, terrible news for Father Hell SJ, a German Jesuit astronomer.)

The famous Astronomer Carl Sagan wrote an interesting book concerning the evolution of humans and especially our magnificent brains or minds, depending on how one looks at it. Anyway, apparently many brains do not evolve into more humane brains while the body resembles humans.

I feel like astrophysicist has a small handful at the top: Hawking, Tyson, Sagan, etc
And if you count “astronomer” more broadly: Hubble, Newton, etc. lots of house hold names.
