@david_chisnall Oh yes. And if we included the enormous costs of energy and drinking water, the environmental costs of the huge datacenters (plus planned #spacedebris) in a time of #climateCrisis! These costs are mainly paid by people living in those regions, not by the users. And by the climate, by biodiversity.
We only have one earth.

RE: https://social.heise.de/@heiseonlineenglish/116894989220754308
The #FCC has found an elegant way to avoid having to decide on the side effects: it is only responsible for the use of radio frequencies and for ensuring that #SpaceDebris is avoided. Therefore, others must decide on the effects of the mirror – but who, remains unclear. This means the satellite can now launch. 50,000 satellites 🛰️ are intended to reflect light onto Earth at night so that #SolarFarms can produce energy even in the dark

According to the #ESA, 14.5 million kilograms of man-made stuff circles the planet today. Compare that to 11 million kg two years ago and 8.9 million kg in 2020—a 63 percent increase 📈 over the past five years. “ #CollisionAvoidance is a standard practice now for every operator,” says Tim Flohrer, head of the ESA’s #SpaceDebris Office. This November, in Vienna, the #UNOOSA will be hosting a #SpaceLaw conference to tackle space debris removal https://spectrum.ieee.org/kessler-syndrome-space-debris

The objects found on Forrest Beach do resemble Hydrazine Propellant Tanks used in satellites and spacecraft.

Aliens? Geheime Militärtechnik? Oder doch nur der Deckel von einem riesigen Thermosbecher? 🤔 An einem Strand in Queensland sind mysteriöse Metallkugeln angespült worden und die Behörden hatten erst mal alle Hände voll zu tun.

Here's a pic of another similar object washed ashore at Forrest Beach, 250 km south of Cairnes.
The Australian Space Agency states that they have identified the likely source, but do not name it. The objects are supposedly pressure vessels from a rocket body that recently re-entered the atmosphere from orbit.
Strange how they these spherical objects survived the violent reentry into the atmosphere without much damage.
