Space Environmentalism wrote the following post Thu, 13 Nov 2025 09:20:52 -0500 "The surge in megasatellite constellations is creating problems beyond amplifying the Earth-circling space debris, according to new research. Reentering spacecraft and rocket stages may also be damaging Earth’s atmosphere. 'Space waste,' spacecraft reentering the atmosphere, injects a considerable amount of its matter into the mesosphere and lower #thermosphere — enough to potentially weaken the Earth’s #ozone layer."

It is very important to ask three questions:
1.) How do spaceship and satellite launches impact our environment, in particular the #thermosphere?
https://mastodon.social/@HistoPol/113295593037140652
2.) Who is the main culprit of this unsustainable development in orbit? (see below)

(Translation: see #AltText)
3.) How do we combat it?

Peut être que les longueurs ne vous parlent pas trop. Vous préférez les hauteurs ?
Avec sa fortune en billets de 50€ empilés, la pile de #BernardArnault atteint 487 km : elle dépasse le milieu de #thermosphere.
Celle du patrimoine médian peut se ranger sous une table basse. -

The #radiation ☢️ reached #Earth in just over eight minutes and ionized the upper layer of Earth's atmosphere — the #thermosphere — triggering shortwave #radio blackouts on the sun-lit portion of Earth at the time including #SouthAmerica, #Africa and the #SouthernAtlantic. https://www.space.com/first-x-class-solar-flare-of-2024-seen-erupting-from-sun-video

Seems to me that all the time i mention it only few people knows:
"There is layer of atmosphere up to 80km thick with temperature up to 2500° C"
Is there anything you often find fascinating?
