Why so much negativity under this post? This is a positive in terms of global scientific and technological progress.

Probably because people are annoyed that "launching satellites" is portrayed as a major feat (as it once was), when nowadays launching a CubeSat is not that impressive.

Probably because of the original clickbait title, which seems to have been changed by the mods to be more accurate.
