Starlink destroying the Ozone layer
Forums:
Paraphrasing;
Between December 2024 and July 2025, more than 525 Starlinks burned up in the upper atmosphere during reentry. The fiery re-entry of even one Gen1 Starlink satellite produces about 30 kilograms of aluminum oxide vapor, a compound that erodes the ozone layer.

I questioned the 525, as I didn't immediately find a reference in that doc. But a quick search found:
You can track Starlink satellite reentries using resources like The Aerospace Corporation.
Frequency:
It's estimated that several Starlink satellites, around 4-5 on average, reenter the atmosphere daily.

We're not going to destroy this place, we're going to destroy ourselves.
