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."

Is this really something to worry about?
I'll gladly welcome data to the contrary.
And this, dear children, is why you don't use such low orbits for mission critical satellites. There is literally nothing to be done but watch them burn.
Less space junk, one hopes.

I never like the idea of starlink
Musk stealing data ….
But here we are
More pollution
It just might be the case.
Fuck, NASA can keep a satellite in orbit for decades
Genius…
Can’t the components be more durable & be put in more stable orbits?
Apologies for any errors, I'm too lazy to Google just now 😉
What do I get?
It will most likely have the opposite effect, speeding up the process so the 🍊 will need a dingy when he goes golfing in Florida.
Not nice people, not nice at all.
That is why it was opening & closing.
Summertime here, you can feel your skin cooking after about 5 minutes in the sun, and sunburn in about 15 minutes unprotected.

If it works like deodorant...
Here's hoping the earth smells fresh for far longer

He couldn’t give a shit about colonising - it’s an inconvenience that people need sleep & feeding - and has zero intention of going up there himself.
It’s all just another con.
Let’s pass some stupid laws banning “chem trails” tho. 🙄
Trust it to him to fuck it up again.

In this case, the missile hitting your city is bad.
The missile ending up in the ocean is LESS bad.
But not good.
To answer "Where do all the bits from both devices land?" an easy way to illustrate it would be:
Take an ice cube. Drop it on the floor. That's what a solid chunk of something does.
Melt it and then drop it on the floor.
Now boil it and throw the steam on the floor.
I went back to the cited account but they don't seem to have skeeted this graph themselves... unless I missed it?
No fan of EM, trust me, just a curious nerd! tyyy
I don’t think people will shame you since there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism but if it were me, I’d keep checking to see if any alternatives are planned
Thanks.
Madness.
