I sit in my hot tub at night and see 1-2+ satellites go over every single time I'm out there.

Which also makes me wonder how many of the shooting stars I've seen recently are just old starlinks burning up.

There are so many that I spot them with my telescope while watching the sky with some frequency. In the last year I've probably caught 6 or so. It's just a spot of light passing through the view, nothing spectacular, but I think it would have been virtually impossible 20 years ago.
