Q: How is the star 'Spica' pronounced?

lucasPronunciation seems to vary depending on the source, usually either SPY-kuh or SPEE-kuh. Which is correct?

needs two more re-open votes. There's nothing opinion-based about pronunciation,
 
@uhoh Who pays for it? SpaceForce tracks the stuff that affects stuff that we care about. Who pays for the stuff they do not cover?

@geoffc The cost to what is proposed there is trivial. At these distances tracking is done with telescopes using the Sun to paint the objects (not radar) so it's mostly about coordinating information and probably only small adjustments to observing schedules of existing facilities, and getting launch providers to share their last known state vectors.
So an office with a few desks with phones and computers, a few salaries...
