What you demand is not clean drinking water, rather that nobody is allowed to use the river at all because you like to see the water flow.

You are basically saying 'nobody is allowed to put a boat on this river because I like nature'.

> caution is warranted when making sweeping changes to space that may do any number of negative things, including make future spaceflights more difficult, make ground-based space research impossible

And that why FCC exists and they have mostly agree that this is not actually a problem.

Nobody has a larger intensive not to make future spaceflight harder then SpaceX.

And the idea that all ground-based space research is impossible is equally nonsense that has often been disproven.

Even in your dystopian nightmare, the reality is that within a few years the orbits SpaceX used would be clean again or that based on government order SpaceX could de-orbit 99.9% of all sats in a week.

So how about we allow boats onto the river and figure out if its really the end of civilization to do so.
