We’re Sending More Rockets to Space than Ever Before. They’re Leaving a Catastrophic Mark.

With more rockets launching than ever before, particularly from SpaceX's Falcon 9, the skies are seeing an unprecedented surge in megaconstellation deployments. This has sparked concerns about rocket pollution, which is being described as an "unregulated geoengineering experiment." The influx of satellites is raising alarms about potential long-term environmental impacts, including space debris and light pollution, which could disrupt astronomical observations and threaten Earth's natural orbital dynamics. This surge highlights the urgent need for better regulation to mitigate the unintended consequences of our space-faring ambitions.
