Elon Musk is paving the way to Mars, but only for the top 0.001% of the population he finds worthy. The rest of us are left behind to suffer what he causes.
His sats have a five year lifespan, after which they vaporize and add their metal contents to the upper atmosphere.
Many of the gadgets we use every day, including smart phones, tablets and laptops rely on efficient computing chips to help keep us all connected. These chips are made from silicon which is purified using hydrochloric acid.
Each chlorine atom can destroy 100,000 ozone atoms. High energy light causes cancer.
The government should make re-entry into OUR atmosphere so expensive that it's cheaper to send the sats into deep space.I detect a tone of resentment in your post. Setting aside Elon Musk, what else is happening? In general, polluters are not being held accountable, and a massive narrative is being constructed to shift blame onto the lifestyles of poor individuals. There is no true government, only governmentality. The elite class controls every aspect of our lives for profit and expansion.
Some may argue for 'survival of the fittest,' but it is precisely the opposite that defines our humanity.
