From what I understand this could put the the brakes on the starlink constellation plans.

The story broke on twitter a short while ago, so still waiting for a mainstream media link.
This is a PDF that you could look over so far, I will wait for the layman's articles to appear, will follow up with anything I find.
PDF was posted on twitter, I will retweet the story on our TSS twitter page if you want to check it out there.

Some people don't understand why I love astronomy so much, I cannot understand why they do not!
