🛰️ 1 to 2 Starlink satellites are falling back to Earth each day
｢ Many of these are in low-Earth orbits, which extend up to an altitude of 1,200 miles (2,000 km) above our planet. And the lifespan of low-Earth orbit satellites, such as Starlink, is only about 5 to 7 years. Soon, McDowell told us, there will be up to 5 satellite reentries per day ｣

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false & illegal invocation of the #InsurrectionAct is coming before the end of the year. #Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential #Treason. State governments should be telling us. #Activists should be developing plans.

Very different kinds of #conservative #activists, but worth noting that #WilliamBuckley, #CharlieKirk, & #BariWeiss all started their careers by advocating for #professors to be fired for #speech they disagreed with. Such a through line of the #postwar right in the #US.

Dr. Jane #Goodall wanted to put #Musk, #Trump, #Xi, #Netanyahu on a Spaceship and send them off into space to never come back.
Best idea I heard this year if you ask me. What great place Earth would be. ❤
A reminder that the #Covid #pandemic isn't over. Thousands are still infected & hospitalized every year. Deaths aren't the only possibility - millions are facing long-term disability from " #LongCovid", including #children. #Vaccines, #cleanair filtration, #respirator masks, & more help keep us safe.

Ob sich die Internetanbieter via #Satelliten Gedanken um unsere #Atmosphäre machen?
Die aktuell mehr als 10.000 Satelliten, welche sich dafür in einem erdnahen Orbit bewegen, sind auf Verschleiß konzipiert. Das heißt sie haben nur eine begrenzte Lebensdauer und werden nach Ablauf dieser ersetzt. Jedes Jahr werden deshalb hunderte dieser Satelliten in der Erdatmosphäre verglühen. Sie bestehen aus seltenen Metallegierungen und viel Aluminium (ein eher reaktionsfreudiges Element). Die Anbieter wollen mit noch mehr Satelliten ihre Abdeckung verbessern, geplant seien mehr als 40.000 Satelliten im Orbit.
Untersuchungen, was die in die Atmosphäre eingebrachten Stoffe bewirken, scheint es bisher kaum zu geben. Immerhin gibt es erste Artikel, die am Rande auf das Problem eingehen.
(Die genannten Zahlen basieren auf Wikipedia -Einträgen zu #Starlink, #Kuiper & #OneWeb von #Musk, #Amazon & #Eutelsat )
