Fuck Musk. But also, this is a nothingburger -- there are plenty of spent upper stages floating around the solar system.

This entire thread is filled with people that know absolutely nothing about Space but the basics modern "media" poorly conveys, but feel the need to comment and display their ignorance proudly just because they hate Musk. It's quite sad actually for an actual Astronomy community, there's worse discussion in here than reddit.
