That document where SpaceX admits to dropping potentially lethal debris on Canada is still publicly available on their website, which is also kind of wild: https://starlink.com/public-files/Starlink_Approach_to_Satellite_Demisability.pdf

They seem to think it's just a whoopsie and no big deal. But...it's actually a violation of Canadian airspace! And also, terrifying!

SpaceX is scary.

@sundogplanets In the case they would delete it, it is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250906143632/https://starlink.com/public-files/Starlink_Approach_to_Satellite_Demisability.pdf

🚀 China delays Shenzhou-20 crew return after suspected space debris impact

「 A key concern would be potential damage to the spacecraft’s thermal protection system or parachute deployment structures, both critical for safe atmospheric reentry and landing 」

While #ElonMusk is celebrating that he might become the 1st ever trillionaire 🤯 we pay the price with rising heat, more floods & broken futures.

#TaxTheSuperRich is not just a matter of fairness, it's necessary for the planet’s survival.

@greenpeace #TaxTheRich will not be enough for such obscenely rich world destroyers (plus #spacePollution and #spaceDebris in his case). For them, we do need a maximum level for allowed richness.
We could solve most of the problems like hunger or transition with this money.

"''The message that I keep trying to deliver to anybody who will listen is: We need to have fewer satellites with longer operational lifetimes. Anything that you can do to make your satellites last longer and to use fewer of them—that is the engineering challenge that we are now facing, and I don’t see anyone really taking that up.'"
