There is an issue with that, if the starlink saterlites were destroyed they would no longer be able to make avoidance menovers. This could very quickly lead to a cascade of massive crashes that pretty much means we will never be able to leave the earth for a long time.
Which is also fucking horrible. Yeah just further pollute the atmosphere with vaporized satellites why don’t you. Hope that Fortnite battle was worth it.
Incorrect, they don’t have natural de-orbit. They have to be controlled. They haven’t solved natural de-orbit, and every de-orbit puts more aluminum oxide in the upper atmosphere that will decimate the ozone layer in 15-30 years.
Sorry, as there is so much easy access to worry these days, but then also don’t read this: https://csl.noaa.gov/news/2025/427_0428.html But actually, do at some point, but just store it in the same file as “things that suck that I can’t control, so I have knowledge and can learn, grow, respond, while realizing it just goes in the same pile of bad decisions people of power are doing to destroy our planet.” The knowledge is annoyingly necessary to build onto the next puzzle piece, despite the frustration. Although we kinda do have control if we just stop playing their game.
The researchers suspect this would help shrink the ozone hole that forms over the South Pole every year,
Ok, so there seems to be a silver lining.
A lesser Ozone hole during a certain period.
Now just to know if the Ozone decimation is winning over this little phenomenon.
Either way, the LEO satellites seem to be to big a mess for their worth, unless you are just considering their military worth.
A cascade of satellite collisions is called Kessler syndrome and the risk of it happening is rapidly increasing due to megaconstellations like Starlink:

Not true. Starlink are in a very low orbit and regularly (1 or 2 a day) will simply burn up themselves as they fall out of orbit.

🤦
I always thought of de-orbiting just to burn-off as a waste, but now this.

Kessler syndrome could be a solution to the Fermi paradox.
