It takes a long time to plot a position for a new satellite because of the amount of space junk currently in orbit.

Probably. Most of the "junk" orbiting the earth will return to the earth or burn up in our atmosphere. This seems different, objects to travel elsewhere in the universe, never to return to earth.

I used to have a link for all the debris being tracked in LEO. Looks like no sunshine could get through. 🚀🇺🇸😹📡🚯
