There are now one to two Starlink satellites falling back to Earth each day, burning up in the atmosphere with consequences not fully understood.

Wait, what?!

I mean it doesn't take an expert to understand that putting cloud of metal and rare earthes into the upper atmosphere is probably not the best of things to do

Who knows, it may reflect some solar radiation and help with global warming.
