Till September 2021 Space X is gonna cover the whole planet with a Starlink internet connection and its gonna launch 42 thousand of satellites. How do you relate to the number of satellites in the orbit of Earth?
Talking about those Starlink satellites, I`d like to mention one interesting fact. Elon Musk said that Starlink satellites will have a self disposal option. Long story short, It means, that when the lifespan of a Starlink satellite goes to its` end, this satellite will be able to lead itself to the atmosphere of Earth and burn down there in order not to increase the number of space junk in the orbit of Earth which became crucial and can lead to a cascade effect, and can cause further collisions.How Elon Musk's 42,000 Starlink Satellites Could Change Earth
