As I understand it, and that understanding could be flawed, burning up a lot of satellites containing a lot of substances not usually found in our upper atmosphere may have consequences. No-one has done the due diligence to know whether this is the case or not. Or if these consequences would be significant for us.
Also, "re-entered" might not mean burning up fully.
so lets maybe not raise the god of apocalypse. these satellites are really small objects, their volume is absolutely insignificant to the bullshit we create down here on the sea level...
I hardly think a post by some random (me) is "raising the god of the apocalypse". But that's sweet of you to say <3
And you are correct that there are significant other issues, with known effects, that need to be addressed as well.
i meant the hysterical "This. Is. Insane. We. Must. Stop. Launching. Shit. NOW. "
