I'm an amateur astronomer and have recently being hearing space x catching alot of flack for the amount of reflection the satellites would cause. While I believe that program is more important than my hobby, I wonder if coating the satellites in vantablack would help eliminate that issue. I'm aware that material absorbs almost all light, so I could see the internal components overheating. Is it possible to dissipate or harness that extra heat?
