So why are we worried about meteor strike? With all that up there how would anything get through?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Article focuses on StarLink while ignoring the fact that StarLink satellites are designed for controlled reentry over the ocean. What it ignores is the very real threat, based on history, of Chinese space debris coming back in in an uncontrolled reentry. China ignores this issue with their Long March rockets and satellites.

This will most likely come down to a difference of interpretation of some obscure clause in the US tax code. Just one more reason to scrap our current income tax and go with a flat tax after a per person deduction.

I know that I am sidetracking a little bit, yet it really is the same 'problem':
Many years ago, when I was a teenager curious about radio technology, I read a story about the first builder of a radio that would fit in the dashboard of a car. He was an EE student, but hadn't yet learned about that theory showing that a tuning coil must have a diameter of slightly more than two inches in order to work. Unaware of this, he wound the coils for his radio on a pencil. When he showed the car radio to the more experienced radio builders, they exclaimed: That won't work! But it did work.
The source for that story is long gone; I didn't take historical notes in my teenage years. As I grew up, and earning myself a ham license, I have tried to find any information about this theory demanding tuning coils to have a (quite big) minimum diameter, but with no success. I have learned that car radios were not uncommon around 1930, so the story about the student probably dates back to around 1920, maybe a year or two later.
It would be nice to know who this car radio builder was, but even more I would like to hear about that (wrongful) theory demanding the large coils. What made radio guys think that it was so? Does this "theory" ring a bell with any of you, so that you can give me a hint about where to find information?
(One likely possibility that those who believed in the theory was so ashamed when it turned out to be completely wrong that they threw all information about it into the memory hole  )
