No starlink is bad. It’s currently deorbiting 1-2 satellites a day, which means half a ton of aluminum and other metals burnt up in the atmosphere. Current ambition mean they will need to start deorbiting 3-5 satellites per day.

We don’t know yet what ecological impact this will have. But I’m having a hard time accepting such wasteful energy and material consumption.
