@carlysagan Fucking satellites are falling out of the sky. Say that. Report that.

@panamared27401 I agree 100% but no one wants to be the terror that says that lol. I will do it if no one else does. I spent tons of time researching why there is no model for megaconstellations & a Carrington event. There isn’t one bc it’s too scary.

@carlysagan Having talked to Jonathan a lot (including about this Saskatchewan space junk), he's definitely being bitingly sarcastic here, in case that's not obvious. He's very critical of pretty much everything Starlink is doing

@carlysagan @tess It's still better than "Musk Rain"

What's wrong exactly?

feld, 26 days ago (edited 26 days ago)

@skobkin @carlysagan do the debris burn up on reentry or is it actually a threat to public safety?

carlysagan, 26 days ago

@feld @skobkin I think it’s a threat to public safety. There is an article that says "One human injury or death on Earth’s surface (from space debris) can be expected every 10 years." https://aerospaceamerica.aiaa.org/features/dodging-debris/

That’s in normal conditions. We just got un-normal with the new giant sunspot

@carlysagan @skobkin time to launch a new job industry: space sweepers
