dear astronomers, we hear you, but you are not the priority when it comes to making sure a country can fight back against oppression and fascism. also, oxygen is not a metal in general, unless we are talking about very specific pressures and temperatures of course.
Oxygen is not hydrogen. Therefore metal.
In fact hydrogen is a metal as long as it’s not undergoing fusion.
Lithium - metal.
Helium, believe it or not - metal. It’s pretty much just lithium anyway.
Look, can’t we fight back by shooting starlink down instead of sending up more and more until the sky is just a cloud of (actual) metal?
Dear everyone,
Please stop accelerating an arms race which puts thousands of objects into low earth orbit.
Sincerely, Astronomers
