Gonna have regular Starlink showers at this rate. Should be fun. As long as you don’t get hit with debris.

Too small for there too be debris. Im more worried about the heavy metals being incinerated in the upper atmosphere

The article points out that Starlink debris has been found on the ground in Canada.
It’s only one in roughly 3000, that we know of. The more of them up there, though, the more will end up hitting the ground.

we get about 44 metric tons of material from meteorites per day burning up in the atmosphere. I’m not sure how much starlink moves the needle on that
