The article calls out ozone depletion caused by the satellite reentry. Is that really a concern at the scale that these satellites are being produced at?

- androiddrew 2y agoMaybe, I love how the author moves straight from the death of the ozone layer to “it will be a pretty show”

What would be relevant to this, is to know the full mix of stratospheric reactions that are effecting ozone, like say, natural meteors, and reactions with dust, created by other human activities......it's going to be a complex set of factors, that may likely be impossible to nail down satesfactorily....so.....one more thing to keep an eye on, eh!
