@Brad_Rosenheim@climatejustice.social @Rhube@wandering.shop Now tell me what happened to all/most of the Apollo lunar module ascent stages, the Saturn IV-B upper stages, LRO, Rangers 1-7, Lunar Orbiter 1-5, the entire early Soviet Luna program …
Hint: historically not a lot of care was taken over expended stage disposal! (And more recent Falcon 9s have passivation systems to prevent this kind of mishap.)
