    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.

        Just like they’re doing with the climate catastrophe.

        Reasoned, sensible change, carried out quickly and paid for by the companies responsible.

          Well, it did work for the ozone hole.

          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).

        That’s the problem with capitalism. They won’t improve the technology until we force them
