Nope, they will be in a low earth orbit that will decay and enter the atmosphere without maintenance burns


And it will impact negatively humanity's health.

Not a single source to a claim in sight.


Oh, wow. I was assuming it might be about toxins released when they burn up, which seems implausible, but radio waves fry your brain? Seriously?


They'll all have a sun synchronous polar orbit.. I don't think they'll be very low orbit, unless they are like trains, at every 1km a satellite.


Not really, if you look at the plans, only a few hundred thousand satellites were planned in LEO, and millions over the Chinese satellites.

There will be a collision at some point, there's no real-time communication between USA and China satellite launches.
