This is why you don't privatize things like space exploration. Private companies will ALWAYS compromise on safety if it means getting a product to market before the competition.

Oh dear, as an Australian I remember this in my last year of primary-school in 1979

In Australia there was mass hysteria about where skylab would fall to the extent people I knew were buying helmets

I am surprised falling satellites can't be tracked more accurately in 2025? anyway lots of ocean so fingers crossed...
