| These satellites move at velocities of SEVERAL MILES PER SECOND

Pure nonsense. If they did they'd soon crash into the observatory. From an
altitude of 500 miles and a velocity of 5 m/sec, it would take 500/5 = 1
minute and 40 seconds. I haven't heard any news reports of satellites
hitting observatories,  but obviously you have.
Remainder snipped, you haven't a fucking clue.
