Wait, what?!
It’s my new ~~panic spiral~~ pet theory for the end of days. There’s a possibility that this could fuck up our magnetosphere, leading to losing our ozone layer, which would then eventually lose us our atmosphere.
They were also afraid detonating a nuklear bomb could set the atmosphere on fire.
I think realistically we’re looking at the hole in the ozone layer grow again and MAYBE even a bit of Kessler Syndrome if every idiot with too much money makes their own sattelite WiFi
Oh, I know that I don’t know enough about this subject to have any idea of its likelihood, but it’s stuck in my brain regardless
I mean it doesn't take an expert to understand that putting cloud of metal and rare earthes into the upper atmosphere is probably not the best of things to do
Who knows, it may reflect some solar radiation and help with global warming.
Please let my one remaining positive brain cell have this win.
