As much as I am interested in the potential for #LEO satellite systems to provide #InternetAccess and #ConnectTheUnconnected, I have a great concern that we don’t fully understand the trade-off we are making in terms of damage to the atmosphere.
We are launching thousands of satellites into LEO with 5-year lifespans.. that will then burn up in the upper atmosphere.
Is this okay? We don’t know. 🙁
