    The main issue ATM tho, from what I’ve heard, is what this huge amount of extra crap is doing to us studying space from the ground.

      There is that. The other issue which I ignored but is significant is the emissions from the rocket launches getting the satellites up there in the first place

        Globally, rocket launches are something like 0.005% of the emissions of the airline industry.
