Wow, I’ve never heard about “GIZCHINA”. It definitely isn’t gizmodo - right? 🤔 Right!
- it is a Czech company with entire capital stock consisting of 4USD 😎 (cca 100 CZK)
- the text is showing hight probability of AI generation. Which adult human being is going to write eg: " In this article, we will discuss the FAA report in detail, including the risks posed by falling satellites, the causes of these risks, and the potential solutions to mitigate them." 🤖
- it does not say anything else than this - much more likely human written thing here - only the original is only 1/3 as long. That is IMO how come the AI Writing is literraly jumping out on you from the article. 😱
This is my least favourite century yet.
TBF the original article you linked is in Chinese and does not have ads in the middle of the article, so you should compare their translated lengths.
All in all we need the original FAA report.
The thumbnail image isn’t even a satellite…

It’s highly unlikely, but the possibility isn’t 0. Like, what if an untracked asteroid hits it out of orbit?
There are around 50,000 Starlink near misses per year.
Well, the chance isn’t zero, but that example, being knocked out (disabled or destroyed) by an asteroid has never happened to any spacecraft, ever. Statically the chances of that happening are very very close to zero.
Injure? Injure?? If someone gets nothing but a boo boo from a falling fucking satellite then they need to go buy a lottery ticket right away.
It can hit in someone’s vicinity causing them injury. It would rarely be a direct strike.
One can get hurt without a direct hit. E.g. when a window bursts from a shockwave and hurts people inside a building.
Satellites will have thoroughly fragmented by the time they reach the ground, you’d be hit by a piece of a satellite.
Assuming the study being referenced wasn’t actually badly flawed, which it appears to be.
I recommend you never buy a lottery ticket - because clearly you don’t understand how luck works.
If a satellite were to smash through the roof of my office and land harmlessly on the floor, I reckon I’d be quite startled and might bump my knee on the bottom of the desk…
There’s definitely a risk of injury, and you’re far more likely to be injured than killed.
I’d probably also have to pay a couple hundred thousand dollars to repair my home, since I don’t think insurance covers falling satellites and I’m certainly not going to try and sue a company on the other side of the world when they probably didn’t do anything against the law anyway. Bruised knee would be the least of my problems.
The lottery chances are independent of the other event I believe so why not go for it
With my luck, I’d buy the winning lottery ticket and then get hit by a satellite the following day.
Nah, if a satellite crashes through my roof, I’m definitely gonna be a first time lottery ticket buyer that day.
Why? Wouldn’t you have spent all your luck for that day?
Do we know who this ‘someone’ is? Sucks to be them.

That sounds like a twisted version of missile command.
Heat me out: Burnout crash mode, but with falling satellites.
ISS Space station final upgrade
This completely ignores the fact that the 2034 Full Self Driving beta release roadmap includes falling satellite avoidance capabilities.

So far, no one has ever been killed by a meteorite. There’s been a scary injury, some unconfirmed rumors and at least one engine block was cracked in half.
That said, death by thing falling from space is totally how I want to die. Bonus points if I’m totally disintegrated and just MIA. ( Circuitboard. It was man made. Has anyone seen Uriel? ) A falling satellite will be fine.
I’ll just stay inside that day, or better yet go hang out in a tunnel
Wait until you hear about Boring Company 's rogue tunnel diggers…
In 2034 once every two years, a person will end up in a randomly dug tunnel.
“Hey what the hell?”
Perhaps fetching all of that junk might be a good idea? Perhaps a satellite trash collector satellite.
