    Which raised the question of how all this metal will effect the atmosphere over time.

    time.

    Indeed. I had always thought that "bringing them back down" involved
    trying to bring them all the way back down, with only some burning up, but apparently most all of them are meant to burn up.

    I am guessing whatever the answer is, it will fall in the "probably not
    good" category.
