Eight weeks after the Starliner spacecraft launched, NASA is still looking for possible answers to its technical issues—including the possibility of SpaceX lending a hand.
So we’re starting to look at aluminum debris in the upper atmosphere, when are we going to look at carbon fibre debris? Or rocket fuel in the upper atmosphere? We dont know what any of that shit does. Im going to hazard a guess that it does nothing good.
If you were to light ten thousand Starlink satellites on fire in a bonfire on the ground people would put you in jail. When it happens in the upper atmosphere its called progress.
Completely stopping the launch of new satellites will simply not happen. The only realistic response is to face the problem and improve the technology.
It should work for the current climate catastrophe and the aluminium thing too, if about 50% of the electorate, 90% of its representatives, and 99% of the people in charge of big companies weren’t mentally handicapped imbeciles, too (if we count being a psychopath as a mental handicap).
At engine cut off and start up those big clouds coming out of the engines are propellant. The pumps need priming and they don’t ignite right away or stop immediately after cut off. And what do you think they mean when they say “venting”?
Remember when Elon wanted to do transpirational cooling? What do you think they were going to “sweat”?

Just like they’re doing with the climate catastrophe.
Reasoned, sensible change, carried out quickly and paid for by the companies responsible.
It practically regulates itself!
Well, it did work for the ozone hole.

Alas, those were different times
We need better politician.
That’s the problem with capitalism. They won’t improve the technology until we force them
and the way to force them is to stop all launches until they fix it
Rocket fuel? You mean that stuff that makes water?
Spacex uses methane
Falcon 9 uses kerosene.
Thanks!

I, uh, know some of those words?
