5 days agoI hate Elon as much as anyone and think that SpaceX is bound for failure…but that article isn’t about a star link satellite. It was a cargo trunk from a SpaceX rocket which prob fell off much lower in orbit.

No, SpaceX is still responsible for dropping trash that could harm people or property. There’s just a difference between dropping something from orbit and from lower in the atmosphere.
The original argument was about worries over Kessler syndrome and then they moved the goal post to space junk not burning up completely, utilizing an article about space junk that wasn’t ever in orbit.
I don’t give a shit about SpaceX, Elon and all his companies are complete trash. That doesn’t detract from the original argument that existing satalites in low earth orbit aren’t something to loose sleep about.
You could make the argument that putting more junk into space has negative and unnecessary outcomes, but that’s a completely different argument that I would agree with.
