There are 6400 Starlink satellites in low-Earth orbit right now, and Musk wants to launch more than 10,000 more; there are a half million more proposed by competing companies, like Amazon. Due to the large number of short-lived satellites, at its peak deployment, Starlink’s mega-constellation will require 29 tons of satellites to enter the upper atmosphere every day. That’s nearly equivalent to a car entering our skies every hour. A ton an hour is trivial on the scale of an entire planet, but the danger is that it could come crashing down on a plane flying through the debris. I’m also thinking…that’s a ton of high-end electronics launched at great expense being vaporized every hour.
