Well, this was actually fkning concerning. Ofk is not like other Company aren't playing to launch thousand of satellites too. There should be a serious regulation and some heavy changes in the metal alloy used at very least. I'm sure that Trump already has a plan about it...
... ofk i'm fking kidding. Vote [everyone else] x president .
So we're starting to look at aluminum debris in the upper atmosphere, when are we going to look at carbon fibre debris? Or rocket fuel in the upper atmosphere? We dont know what any of that shit does. Im going to hazard a guess that it does nothing good.
If you were to light ten thousand Starlink satellites on fire in a bonfire on the ground people would put you in jail. When it happens in the upper atmosphere its called progress.
Completely stopping the launch of new satellites will simply not happen. The only realistic response is to face the problem and improve the technology.
That's the problem with capitalism. They won't improve the technology until we force them
and the way to force them is to stop all launches until they fix it
Just like they’re doing with the climate catastrophe.
Reasoned, sensible change, carried out quickly and paid for by the companies responsible.
It practically regulates itself!
We need better politicians.
Rocket fuel? You mean that stuff that makes water?
Spacex uses methane
Falcon 9 uses kerosene.
Thanks!
At engine cut off and start up those big clouds coming out of the engines are propellant. The pumps need priming and they don't ignite right away or stop immediately after cut off. And what do you think they mean when they say "venting"?
Remember when Elon wanted to do transpirational cooling? What do you think they were going to "sweat"?
I, uh, know some of those words?
Type of metal doesn't matter, it's any particle that leftover CFCs from the 1970s can stick to and make it more likely for them to react and destroy ozone. The ozone hole is over Antarctica and changes size seasonally because high altitude ice clouds do the same thing, smoke from forest fires also does it.
