    Is that all? Only ~1 Ton per week?

    Last year, the U.S. Space Force issued alerts for nearly 820 objects entering the Earth’s atmosphere.

    “Re-entries happen each and every day,” "Huge objects weighing a metric ton or more arrive about once a week" according the space collision experts.

    While much of the debris incinerates in the atmosphere or splashes into the Pacific, but when it does not - it can land anywhere and on one can predict where.

    SpaceX indicates ~5% of the mass of some of its satellites may not disintegrate when they "de-orbit". nytimes.com/2026/07/31/world/a
