Not one major news outlet is covering the destruction of Starlink this summer. Though Lemmy might enjoy Elon losing more money.

The article seems to indicate that the loss of 200 satellites is largely attributed to solar flares, not orbit degradation.

And the point of the article is that this is higher than expected.

It is also potentially interesting for people that weren't aware of how often these satellites will deorbit and so the potential costs associated. Even people aware that this happens may not have thought about it much with Starlink or be aware of the scope.

OP is being a little stupid with the editorializing, and the article could be better, but the article is generally good and useful.
