Recent scientific papers highlight the growing environmental impact of space activities, particularly rocket launches and satellite reentries. Research indicates that emissions from rockets, including soot particles, contribute to stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming. Furthermore, the vaporization of metals during satellite reentries is significantly increasing the concentration of aluminum and other elements in the stratosphere, potentially leading to substantial ozone layer damage over the coming decades.
