I suspect they'd stop at automatic rendezvous & docking. Use some sort of cradle system that holds heat fins, power, etc that boxes of racks would slot into. Once they fail just pop em out and let em burn up. Someone else will figure out the landing bit

I won't say it's a good idea, but it's a fun way to get rid of e-waste (I envision this as a sort of old persons home for parted out supercomptuers)

Seems like a bit of pointless whataboutism when we're still using leaded fuel in planes and helicopters

At least that's relatively local pollution and isn't raining down on me given it's banned in the entire EU.

Have you looked at the number of exemptions issued after they sunset it? Virtually nothing has changed.
