Original, unopened 1970's packet of space dust anyone? #70s #sweets #vintage #SpaceDust

I'm not so sure. The space dust we get isn't all one type of meteorite; it's essentially all the different types that are out there, so the composition as a whole tends towards the composition of the solid parts of the solar system. For example, it's easy to find metallic micrometeorites in your rain gutters, and they're not all just iron. Copper, aluminum, etc, etc.

I don't know exactly how much beryllium a Starlink satellite contains. I didn't think it was pure anyways - it would be as part of a beryllium-copper alloy? So the amount of beryllium entering our atmosphere from satellites may or may not equal the amount in space dust. I haven't found a study on this, everything I see said on this subject online seems to be speculation. Speculation is not a great basis for evaluating danger.

Today's #Disasters lineup are #FromSpaceDisasters I started with Maximum overdrive 1986 that I had saved on the PVR before moving on to the 1s I have in my collection Night of the comet 1984, Deep impact 1998 & Armageddon 1998. #MyHorrorfest #SpaceDust #CometDisasters #MeteorsDisasters #HorrorMovies #Horror #DisasterMovies

Oh well, that escalated quickly. #MechanicalKeyboard #Keycaps #KAT #SpaceDust

#Florida Judge orders #KratomDistro to pay $11 million to family of #BoyntonBeach mother of four who died in 2021 from mitragynine #intoxication after using #SpaceDust a powdered #stimulant supplement made from #kratom, a plant of south Asian origin. The company operated by Sean Michael Harder operates out of a house in #SalemOregon, has refused public comment. The #FDA has not banned kratom, although #DEA briefly banned it in 2016, then retracted. Last week the same law firm won a $2.5 million dollar jury #verdict in another kratom #WrongfulDeath lawsuit against a kratom mfg in Washington state.
