 @f7e91e8b Now, I'm not the world's most biblical guy, but ... Tower of Babel, anyone? 
 @f7e91e8b Not much of a believer -- an atheist if you wanna make something of it -- but if you dig metaphor, the Bible is worth a skim. 
 @8601b1d9 That's a great metaphor! I mean, what happens if there's satellite failure? We're so dependent on having all the information available electronically, what will we do if that's gone? Do we remember how to navigate with the stars? And how will we even see the stars through all the debris?! 
 @f7e91e8b @8601b1d9 I think there's more important things to worry about than a few satellites in the sky. Priorities...
