There are now one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth each day, burning up in the atmosphere with consequences not fully understood.

Wait, what?!

    I mean it doesn't take an expert to understand that putting cloud of metal and rare earthes into the upper atmosphere is probably not the best of things to do

    It’s my new panic spiral pet theory for the end of days. There’s a possibility that this could fuck up our magnetosphere, leading to losing our ozone layer, which would then eventually lose us our atmosphere.
