TL;DR Summary

SpaceX has disputed a report by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that claimed there is a risk of debris from its Starlink satellites falling to Earth. SpaceX alleges that the FAA's analysis is flawed and based on outdated information, arguing that its satellites are designed to burn up completely upon reentry. The FAA report, which commissioned an analysis from Aerospace Corporation, suggested a risk of falling debris from Starlink and potential harm to aircraft. SpaceX has requested that the FAA correct its report to Congress.
