What's weird is that every satellite they put up there will be down in 5 years. So they will have to keep firing satellites every year, just to keep the business running.

Now that we know incoming satellites is likely destroying the ozone, this doesn't seem like a sustainability industry.

The entire A/C and refrigeration world was turned upside down to protect ozone, and now starlink is getting a free pass?
