about

“Who Makes the Stars” is the question you could ask yourself in the summer of 2020 when inexplicable fairy lights appeared in the starry sky. “Who Makes the Stars” is also Part 3 of a Woog Riots single series 2020/2021. In the tradition of space pop songs orbiting David Bowie, Sun Ra and Public Service Broadcasting, the Woog Riots - Silvana Battisti and Marc Herbert - launch a new perspective. What Ziggy Stardust and William Shatner as Captain James T. Kirk could not imagine has now become reality: legions of massive commercial satellites circle the earth in close orbit. Elon Musk and his company SpaceX launched the project Starlink... Enjoy also the video: Video: youtu.be/WxvBwzfziUM

Lyrics:

Starlink-1517 Starlink-1421 Starlink-1513 Starlink-1347
Starlink-1512 Starlink-1418 Starlink-1498 Starlink-1345


Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Like a diamond in the sky


Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?
Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?


wish you're not a SpaceX chain of Starlink satellites
wish you're not a SpaceX chain of Starlink satellites
thousand diamonds in the sky


Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?
Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?


Mass-produced satellites put into orbit by humans
Weight 227 kilo
Size of a washing machine
Will fly relatively close to Earth
Reflected light from satellites visible in the night sky
Brighter than most objects that are now in Earth orbit
Long-term plan for the mega-constellation aiming at 40.000 satellites
1 2 3 4 5 6 producing six satellites per day
Other communication companies have their own internet satellites planned
Satellites will fly relatively close to Earth


Twinkle twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Like a diamond in the sky Space junk


Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?
Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?
Starlink-1510 Starlink-1343 Starlink-1505 Starlink-1411 Starlink-1491


Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?
(Starlink-1340 Starlink-7 H Starlink-1410 Starlink-1521)
Who makes the stars who makes the stars or is this just another smart ass' project?
(Starlink-1368 Starlink-1511 Starlink-1409 Starlink-1509)


Twinkle, twinkle, little star (Starlink-1337 Starlink-7 AC Starlink-1286 Starlink-1508)
