"Unprecedented Starlink Re-Entries" - 120 burning up in the Earth's atmosphere in January alone, with evidence that the chemistry/composition of the upper atmosphere is changing as more satellites fall back to Earth.
"What we're observing is a giant uncontrolled experiment in atmospheric chemistry"

@CdnCurmudgeon Please tell me there’s someone with a laser cannon, who’s shooting Starlink satellites like they were clay pigeons.

@patmadigan @CdnCurmudgeon nope, just an active sun cycle

Just how do you equate buffoonery with experimenting?
I don't get it

I guess that's the best way to destroy evidence! Some one needs to raid EM headquarters and arrest them all!

"When oxygen interacts with aluminum, it forms aluminum oxide clusters, while larger aggregates of unoxidized aluminum may remain intact. These byproducts can take up to 30 years to descend from the mesosphere to the stratospheric ozone layer. At around 40 km (25 miles) altitude, aluminum oxides can catalyze reactions that activate chlorine, contributing to ozone depletion."

I still don't understand how the replacement cycle will keep up with this loss rate or how that's even remote profitable 🙄🤣
