I can’t wait for bespoke wood paneling in my space shuttle
tfw your space shuttle is designed to burn up in the atmosphere
It’s a strange but good idea that im glad is gaining traction.
Sounds like its got a lot of positives.
Doesn’t metal usually burn up on re-entry too?
Apparently, that causes radio interference, but I don’t think it lasts that long (days to hours)
From the article.
The creators expect the wooden material will burn up completely when the device re-enters the atmosphere—potentially providing a way to avoid the generation of metal particles when a retired satellite returns to Earth.
These metal particles could have a negative impact on the environment and telecommunications, the developers said as they announced the satellite’s completion on Tuesday.
Outer wilds vibes
The first time(s) I tried to get on the solar station, it really felt like my ship was made of wood 😅
