The Starlink satellites are creating way more space junk than we need and risk creating a Kessler syndrome.

Sorta good news on that front. Starlink satellites are in such a low orbit that without regular boosting of their orbit they re-enter in short measure. The bad news is that means there are hundreds of pounds of e-waste re-entering and burning up on a regular basis and there have been studies suggesting it’s damaging the ozone layer.

When freaking lawyers are saying “I don’t know if I can ethically support this company” you know you’ve got a problem.
