Meanwhile, SpaceX filed another ex parte (= extra bonus rich people briefing) with the FCC yesterday (which you can find here if you sort by date: https://fccprod.servicenowservices.com/ibfs?id=ibfs%5Fsearch&q=SAT-LOA-20260108-00016)
They say their million satellites will be 4 tons each, but don't worry, they will burn up completely in the atmosphere (once every 3 minutes) and there's a 0 casualty risk. They also will never crash into each other or anything else because SpaceX is perfect.
Don't worry, our future in space will be GREAT.
