  Private space companies are increasingly commercializing near-earth space.
Some estimates show that more than 100,000 satellites may orbit the Earth by
2030. This increase in the number of satellites has many consequences for
science, particularly astronomy. Satellite mega-constellations for satellite
Internet connectivity are one of the main drivers behind the explosion in the
number of satellites. Here, we briefly note whether such satellite
mega-constellations can justify their impact on astronomy.
