25 million meteors enter the atmosphere every day! Almost all of them are burnt up. You're certainly breathing "vaporized space object" ash constantly. The danger of satellites burning up to air quality is negligible.

- hungryforcodes 5y agoOK I searched the article and there was nothing in there about air quality or the environment. The fact is you simply don't know. And of course I am talking about over decades, like 30-60 years. It's a question fortunately that's being pondered: https://eos.org/features/the-coming-surge-of-rocket-emissions https://eos.org/features/the-coming-surge-of-rocket-emission...
- only_as_i_fall 5y agoWhat claim is it that you're making? If the claim is that an increase in rocket launches will be detrimental to the environment and air quality I would agree. The claim however that satellites re-entering the atmosphere will have a real impact on this is almost certainly false and isn't backed up by the article you linked.
