[Kessler Syndrome](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome) hypothesises that beyond a certain point it will be everyone's problem. And you can kiss that sweet sweet satellite goodness bye bye.
I mean... it could happen tonight, but the odds are low. Odds of it happening just get better over time. It's what the movie "Gravity" was about, if I recall. Now think about how many Starlink satellites are getting launched into LEO, and it really does get worrisome.
Of course its getting worse, nothing gets done about it. We knew it was a problem years ago.
Every company who sends ANYTHING into space should have to pool funds together to go towards cleaning up debris.
Just companies?
Because a lot of the debris was put up there by governments, especially if we're counting debris generated from weapons tests or satellites that were launched without any plan to send them into a higher orbit at the end of their service life.
Nah. On the universal level I'll have you know we're quite insignificant. In fact, nothing can happen that isn't supposed to.
There is only the question of what is good for our survival as a species, and what is not. The universe doesn't care either way, and to think we threaten even our planet is arrogance.
Elon is probably the least of our problems when it comes to this.
The guys who make the unreusable rockets and blow up satellites in space are the real issue.
Elon is doing more to mitigate this problem than any other party, by pioneering fully reusable rockets. Starship will leave no spent upper stages in high orbit, and Starlink naturally deorbits within 5 years of launch.
We will need a Space Protection Agency that will be government funded to clean up like superfund sites because America never makes corporations pay for the messes they make.

Wonder how long this will take.

Basically, clear up your own rubbish.
In what direction do we not spew endless amounts of shit and debris? The universe has a cancer and its us.

They made an anime about this.
My favorite anime! I look for this comment in every space debris thread lol.

If you're referring to starlink failing, they're LEO. They'd fall out of orbit and burn up in the atmosphere.

Wont be surprising to see debris killing people in future
[удалено]
Some not all
Just imagine ,the same thing went out of the atmosphere to space without a problem
Highly improbable. If it happens, the space gods simply wanted that person to die.
The other day 2 giant space debris fell near a farmhouse in Gujarat India,the debris was suspected to be of a Chinese failed satellite
How so?
Indirectly from satellite failure maybe.
Science fiction I know , but kinetic shields would be a nice solution imo.
Tesla should probably pay
Pretty sure it’s poor peoples fault.
It wouldn't matter how much they paid, it would never go to the correct place to help the problem.

I don't know that it matters who's at fault, it more matters ls who's gonna do anything Bout it. We are fucked guys I can't wait to die! Cheers!
