Better it explodes on the ground than in the sky. All that methane in the upper atmosphere surely does us no favours.

Honestly curious about that. Anyone around know what the impact is? May need to get a NASA scientist involved… oh, wait, they all are getting fired. /sigh

No one knows. Probably nothing beneficial. There has recently been news about aerosolized metals in the atmosphere but it's all new. The amount of satellites has been teeny till lately. And no one has been launching giant skyscrapers of methane and exploding them in the upper atmosphere till now either.
