If by "left in space" you mean the payload, then mostly Starlink satellites. A considerable number of other people's satellites as well. Those stick around until the end of their service life, then they re-enter the atmosphere and burn up.
If you're asking if any part of the rocket gets left up there, then the answer is no
There was a recent lemmy post and discussion where "burn up" wasn't making stuff magically disappear out of our atmosphere.
Right. It’s more like the molecules come apart from one another but still exist. Kinda like when bread turns into toast in the toaster: matter transforming as energy flows though it.
Nah, I'm asking about why so many trips, and what is being left. You won't find a list of it anywhere.
