Where will they go after they deorbit? Do we get em back?

They burn up on re-entry, at least they're supposed to.

Thanks, atmosphere 🙂❤️ that's interesting design! Will any of the debris reach the planet or is it designed to break apart in a particular fashion?

Will any of the debris reach the planet

Not in a solid form. There may be some undesirable effects though at greater numbers, we don't really have good data. Here's a blog post by the European Space Agency talking about a couple studies on the effects of satellite reentry. Note that the satellites they simulated were significantly larger than the Starlink satellites.

My understanding is they're designed to completely disintegrate.
