1. I believe they all do purposely. Have no clue why but they said it the other day on one of the news shows

2. The Starlink constellation has over 6,000 satellites

Old ones are routinely deorbited.

3. Read a science article months ago that satellites fall out of the sky due to solar

flares. The sun's been in a natural, overly active cycle during which sunspots explode. The resulting flares surge toward earth and cause magnetic drag on satellites. The satellites slow down in orbit and gradually descend. Many, if not most, have a small fuel supply that can be manually activated from earth to keep them at proper orbit speed, but once the fuel's exhausted, they fall and burn up in the earth's atmosphere. The current cycle is due to end in a couple years.

Oh, and would add those same magnetic flares are enabling more regions of earth to see Auroras (Northern Lights).

Never knew this.

5. Adding to allegorical oracle post.

Eloon wants to manufacture a rocket a day. Between the pollution the rockets make, the sky pollution, and air pollution from them burning up in the atmosphere we’re screwed with him influencing our government.

6. Incoming... Possible Starlink debris...

As these satellites burn up in the atmosphere, they release harmful aluminum oxide, which can harm Earth's protective ozone layer + alter its ability to reflect sunlight...
