Almost 4 #StarLink satellites fall back to Earth every day and they rain out aluminum oxide into the stratosphere which destroys the ozone layer. These microsatellites are more and mire problematic with every article I read.

Evidently there were 120 in January!

At peak operation (assuming 42,000 sats with 5 year lifetimes), they'll be burning up 23 a day, on average.

But don't worry guys, space isn't actually an environment, so spacecraft can have a categorical exemption from any kind of environmental oversight.

I knew you would shed additional light here. Thanks 😊

And yes, it is deplorable. So many still have no idea that these things eventually fall back and even fewer have an idea about the consequences 🙁

Otte Homan - remember Geordie
the whole idea of continuously sending up tens of thousands of expendable satellites with a lifetime of only a few years is a sick joke, cool tech one way or another.

It is so bad. So many human inventions are bad. But when humans' goals are profit and power, nothing will stop them.

And to think that so many sigh with relief when the thing falls into the ocean 🙁
