4chan would eagerly blame india for orbitshitting, but in reality, Elon Musk is polluting our atmosphere with space debris>It might not be long before you look up and see a fiery, slow-moving object streaking across your night sky and, clearly, breaking into pieces. That’s if you haven’t seen such a thing already. There are currently one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth every day, according to retired Harvard astrophysicist Jonathan McDowell. His acclaimed website Jonathan’s Space Report is widely regarded as the definitive source on spacecraft that go up … and come down. When we asked him about the deluge of Starlink satellite breakups that have recently been flooding social media, he pointed us to his graph showing Starlink reentries over time.>There are more than 8,000 Starlink satellites overhead at this moment. They’re a product of the space transportation company SpaceX. And that number is growing. Plus there are other companies and countries also deploying more and more satellites, adding to the number of satellites in Earth orbit. Many of these are in low-Earth orbits, which extend up to an altitude of 1,200 miles (2,000 km) above our planet. And the lifespan of low-Earth orbit satellites, such as Starlink, is only about 5 to 7 years. Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day.Why can't Elon keep his space junk spysats in orbit?https://earthsky.org/human-world/1-to-2-starlink-satellites-falling-back-to-earth-each-day/
starlink satellites aren't high enough up to cause kessler syndrome. over 2,000 have already de-orbited and been replaced.
>>106812774>Why can't Elon keep his space junk spysats in orbit?Are you retarded? A trash that falls to earth is not a problem. It becomes a problem when it stays there and collides with other shit.
when will he pay us reparations for the increased cancer risk of breathing in vaporized aluminum and other heavy metals from his space junk? everyone near it should at least get free starlink for life imo.
>>106812774people with brown skin think that satellites operate perfectly in adverse conditions
>>106812774>Why can't Elon keep his space junk spysats in orbit?Because the only way he was able to get approval was to ensure that his sat links would self-dispose unlike Indians. If AI takes over all the PC's and locks users out, the entire network would fall down in ~6 months or so.They also burn up on a secondary reason due to making them cheaper as if you find issues or make breakthroughs you know you already have to replace the current model
>>106812774>Why can't Elon keep his space junk spysats in orbit?The whole point is that you don't keep them in orbit. If a satellite falls into the atmosphere and kills a fish who fucking cares? The problem is when shit stays up there and collides into something important.
>>106812774relax, gavin nusom already pollutes the skies with california's alluminium based cloud seeding program.
>>106813260That's useful to bring rain in
>>106812783What do they release in the atmosphere when they burn up? Do the leftovers stay up in the atmosphere or start circulating?
I'm really worried about putting things into space. What if we run out of space.
>SpaceX is deorbiting about two satellites per day and expects that number to rise to five per day as older Starlink bird meet their end of life and are replaced with newer versions that have higher capacity. This might be bad for the ozone layer as it's postulated that the high aluminum content of satellites (for perspective, Bennu samples are only 1% Al), as oxidized Al2O3 particles in the stratosphere, catalyze chemistry that destroys ozone.
>>106814967The release internet gas. You're gonna be a superhero, anon!
>>106812774Does that mean he's threatening our ability to transition children and groom them? If so, based.
>>106812774>Why can't Elon keep his space junk spysats in orbit?they're designed to fall. they break/become obsolete tech, they make room for newer tech. it's literally designed this way, they're programmed to fall
>>106812774>ourhahahahahah like you have a satellite lmao nasanigger
>>106814989hey but i can remote work from anywhere
