I mean, Venus and Jupiter are both very bright, very surprising to people.
And now Elon has launched over 10,000 satellites for Starlink.
And I know because I live in Santa Barbara in the mountains above Santa Barbara.
So it's very dark.
And Vandenberg is just it's about 90 miles up the coast.
So every week there's a launch and the rocket goes up.
And about six minutes later, the sound gets to my house.

And then you see the string of satellites.
The next like 90 minutes later, they come over the house.

Elon is right there.
They're launching satellites.
