Thanks. I recall seeing this info before, and I questioned the same thing before. While any depletion is bad, is 17 tons the windmill to attack when other emissions affecting ozone and other effects are far, far greater? I get that it’s saying a larger increase means more residuals left, but can we possibly pump out satellites anywhere close to what’s done from the ground?
I can’t find any very recent numbers, but here’s an example of what I’ve found both in emissions and potential emission sources. https://news.mit.edu/2020/emissions-ozone-cfc-chemicals-0317. I just don’t see satellite reentry as the headline it’s made out to be, plus we can find alternates that reduce it further.

No problem
