| This is the last CSR Newsletter of the Spring semester. Have a great summer and I will see you in the Fall! |
Here is a fascinating quote that I saw, last week, from the article in the url below:
"Decommissioned satellites, which vaporize when they plunge through the atmosphere, are threatening the Earth's protective ozone layer. Last year, about 1,000 of them reentered, or about three a day. By 2035, the daily rate is estimated to rise as high as 50."
Amazing – 1,000 satellites re-entering our atmosphere every year; projected to rise to 20,000 a year, in the next 10 years. The article appeared the day after the latest Starlink satellite launch by SpaceX. Such sentiments always remind me of an image from the Pixar movie, Wall-e (released in 2007, the same year as the first iPhone) – one of the most prescient movies about the future of humanity that I have seen:
Hope you all have a good summer.
