> Starlink will also deposit tons of aluminum and other metals in the atmosphere

This is a perfect example of a complete failure of perspective. About 1 million kg of meteors burn up around the world every day. So what made you conclude that Starlink satellites burning up would cause a significant increase in the amount of metals in the atmosphere? Nothing at all. You're willing to say anything as long as it's anti-Elon.

Good magazines can publish bad articles.

"Talk on the street"? That's cute, but it's just something someone made up.

I’m not at all surprised that you get all of your knowledge of nuclear power from the Simpsons. That explains why you think that nuclear plants boiling water is some kind of secret that no one knows about (on the Simpsons, the cooling towers emit some kind of noxious smoke).

But no, real nuke plants are not like that. Please don’t talk as if you’ve been to one.

There is no connection whatsoever between the two parts of that sentence. There are reasonable arguments against nuclear power, but “it just boils water” isn’t one of them.

I can’t find a single definition of “motor” that supports this.

Apart from the fact that model rocket engines have always been called motors, most definitions of the word “motor” don’t involve rotation.
