I'll note that the Starlink reentry debris that SpaceX dropped on Canada in August 2024 (separate from the Crew Dragon Trunk debris dropped on Canada in Feb 2024), still doesn't appear on this database. And I think that's because the farmer contacted SpaceX directly, SpaceX had him Fedex the debris to them. As far as I can tell, the Canadian gov't didn't find out until *I told them*, months after it left Canada, so I guess that means it doesn't get to go on this chart?

Really wild stuff...

@sundogplanets

This seams to be no topic in Germany at all.

I'll try:
Es scheint so zu sein, dass #SpaceX pro Monat! ein bis zwei seiner Sateliten abstürzen lässt. #Satellitenschrott hat sogar #Kanada getroffen. Dies ist eine tödliche #Gefahr.
#Kanada scheint das nicht einmal bemerkt zu haben da der getroffene Farmer den #Müll direkt zu SpaxeX gesendet hat.

That document where SpaceX admits to dropping potentially lethal debris on Canada is still publicly available on their website, which is also kind of wild: https://starlink.com/public-files/Starlink_Approach_to_Satellite_Demisability.pdf

They seem to think it's just a whoopsie and no big deal. But...it's actually a violation of Canadian airspace! And also, terrifying!

SpaceX is scary.

@sundogplanets In the case they would delete it, it is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/20250906143632/https://starlink.com/public-files/Starlink_Approach_to_Satellite_Demisability.pdf
