> SpaceX is launching stuff at an incredible rate. That's the great thing, but it also means that as they continue to launch, the amount of 2nd stages left behind will only increase.

You seem to be saying that all entities globally should as a whole launch less objects into space, as you imply that putting more objects into space is a net negative. That's fine to think but I strongly disagree that we as a planet should launch less objects into space.

> There is a large number of second stages in orbit that are not coming back any time soon.

I agree, which is why we should push for regulations that require satellite operators to have plans to de-orbit their satellites at end of life and/or not launch to orbits where the launching stage cannot quickly de-orbit within a set number of years. However simply pushing for all countries to launch less things into space, as you seem to be saying, is not a good idea.
