In a 2024 paper I hadn’t seen before, telescopic observations indicate that a single Generation 1 Starlink satellite generated FIFTEEN pieces of debris after reentry ablation. 15. 15 pieces that could hit the ground and hit us. This is a new level of horror. Do not support Starlink internet under ANY circumstance. This might be the most terrifying result of technology ever in human history - this technology is going to come back and hit us in the face. Literally.
