Satellite mega-constellations create risks in Low Earth Orbit, the atmosphere and on Earth

@carlysagan @planet4589 That wasn't our focus in this particular paper (I agree it's likely a problem - just not the problem we modelled here). Here's a recent paper that does talk about that issue a bit: https://t.co/sMHmryHnSq

@marclamonthill Some thoughts: (1) Sounds awesome. Definitely something I’d want. (2) I hope we proactively find solutions to some of the environmental impacts of this tech: https://t.co/NK1tLPKqKq (3) Space has so much potential to make life better on Ear
