The crazy thing is there is NO WAY the people approving tens of thousands of LEO sats did not know this.

So no caution, no cleanup fund, nothing.

Just privatize the profits, socialize the costs.

Even years from now no researchers will be able to prove the increase in cancer rates is from ionized metals in the air or prove the source.

Exactly like micro-plastics and forever-chemicals now saturating every water source on the planet.


Does Bloomberg regularly do this...turn news articles into obnoxious, PowerPoint-like animations? Disabling JavaScript didn't help, so reader mode to the rescue.

Bloomberg: stick to your core competency and stop being cute.
