Glad you get your cake and to eat it too. Your comfort, even when plentiful alternatives exist, is definitely the priority for science at the other 100s of millions of people who live where ground level infrastructure supports a connected life. We should all just deal with it, as long as you are comfortable of course.

According to NASA, space telescopes cost 1000x more per kg than ground-based telescopes.
