minus-squareIlovethebomb@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up6arrow-down1·10 小时前This has been commented before. Starlink flies at a very low altitude, meaning relatively high atmospheric drag, and a very short period of time before their sats deorbit if they go dead, less than ten years. It’s nowhere near the problem everyone makes it out to be.

I didn’t say it wasn’t a problem at all.
