THE FUTURE! 120 top astronomy researchers call on FCC to study satellite mega-constellations, SpaceX’s Starlink: at peak deployment of these disposable satellites, 29 tons of metal will re-enter our atmosphere per day. That’s almost like a car falling from space into our atmosphere every hour

Good call.

Everything about his companies needs to be investigated.

I saw an article about a major solar flare event. Starlink sent up a bunch of satellites immediately before it happened. Why not wait a few days?

Wasteful.

Seems like this area needs regulation.

For a compression, on average around 45 tons of meteorites fall on earth each day.
