Humanity will never go to Mars in numbers (all our stuff is here), but Elon Musk's great legacy will be destroying the night sky for terrestrial astronomy. A fitting monument to our age

Eventually, yes. But there’s a lot more real estate in an orbital at 1110km than at 500km. The ones up there will matter far less.

According to Wikipedia only some of the orbits are that high. Most at 550km or 340km.

And again the impact of a satellite in that orbital is far lesser from an earth station viewpoint than one in closer. There’s a LOT more surface area in a spherical surface described as 1100km up versus 550km up.
