Thousands of satellites being sent into orbit by SpaceX and rivals like Amazon eventually have to come down. Incinerating them in the atmosphere releases damaging pollutants that pose new threats to the planet's protective shield.

This satellite instance of a self-destroying industry is again mainly driven by USA firms. And USA regulators were unfit for the task even before citizens elected Trumler
As these billionaires pay no heed to any such concerns in search of ever greater wealth and control, just maybe the ‘polluter pays principle’ should apply?
It's just selling a licence to kill.
Polluters don't care. They can afford to pay.
Polluter Pays never accomplishes to get pollution down to a sustainable level. Bc that rich 1% incurs 50% of the harm and rather pays than change
However as environmental guide rails are being removed globally via more right wing regimes, it may be the best worst thing?
Setting the right tax rate on the damage is key, but highly unlikely to ever really account for the whole life cost.
Could required change ever happen if we all promote and demand ineffective ideas?
Spoiler: it couldn't.
Because!
What’s the alternative, other than pushing for an outright ban?
As SpaceX & Amazon scale up,
we need regulations to protect Earth’s atmosphere and orbit. Need to end space Junk..
