    This is awesome in many ways. Much cheaper materials, less environmental impact, and better short term satellites. Plus testing wood in long term space/vacuum.

    SpaceX, with nearly 7,000 satellites in orbit, is by far the world’s biggest satellite operator and thus potentially one of the main contributors to the satellite air pollution problem.

    I didn’t realize older satellite designs are destroying the ozone again.

    Looking forward to the results!
