Something else to thank EM for.
"The sustained rate of daily reentries is unprecedented," says Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard Center for Astrophysics who tracks satellites. "They are retiring and incinerating about 4 or 5 Starlinks every day."

Sustainable tech must include the minimization of space debris & pollution through intelligent satellite design (e.g., minimizing energetic construction costs & particulate matter upon re-entry). A huge thanks to Shannon Abelson for bringing this to my attention! www.reuters.com/technology/s...
