Scientists have confirmed that Space X rocket, linked to lithium pollution.

I have to update the Starlink numbers in my talk. But this time, I last gave my talk TWO DAYS AGO. This is stupid.
There are 27 more Starlinks in orbit today than there were on Monday: there are now 9,526 Starlink satellites orbiting above our heads.
1,458 have already been burned up in the atmosphere (and at least 1 of those made it to the ground in the easiest place in the world to find space debris...) adding many hundreds of tons of weird metals to the stratosphere. #ProfSamLectureTour
@sundogplanets “This Starlink satellite crashed in the easiest place in the world to find space debris. Is that near your house?”
Alarm Grows over Proposed Giant Mirrors in Orbit and Other Commercial Space Plans

Seeking Profits, Private Companies Look to Light up the Night Sky
Reflect Orbital’s plan to deliver “sunlight on demand” using thousands of giant orbital mirrors is just the latest in a growing list of disruptive commercial activities in space

More stuff being launched by man with spazzy arms into space, rolling Kessler dice agian.
"Vandenberg Space Force Base Guardians and Airmen are scheduled to support the launch of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying 28 Starlink satellites into low-Earth orbit, Thursday, October 30th, between 1:06 - 5:06 p.m. PT from Space Launch Complex 4 East.
Based on Vandenberg SFB's updated audibility modeling, launch-related noise may be audible along the Central Coast from Santa Maria to Oxnard, with a sonic boom most likely to be heard in Santa Barbara, Ojai, and Ventura.""

European Space Agency, not an agency known to be alarmist is ringing everything right now. There's far too much #SpaceJunk.

"Which space junk incident are we talking about?" #spacejunk
IEEE Spectrum: Have We Reached a Space-Junk Tipping Point?
In some orbits, the Kessler syndrome is already underway

Just found out about this space polution startup - "Reflect Orbital is delivering sunlight by building a constellation of in-space mirrors"
