How is that “gas-station posing as a nation” operating satellites?

It was an old, defunct satellite that’s just whizzing around at 10,000 mph until gravity wins................

NASA’s Timed satellite, designed to monitor Earth’s atmosphere. So a globull warming b.s. satellite too bad it didn’t get smoked

One collision and fragmentation can greatly increase the amount of space debris. It could possibly set off a domino effect as orbital debris increases exponentially with each impact.

One could screw up LEO satellites for quite some time by dumping a few tons of sand in orbit.

Weird... I tried getting seed money to fire up a company that would literally prevent stuff like this from happening. Was turned down because apparently being a straight, white, male, puts you on the bottom of every list there is...

One of the big worries is a cascade event. You have so much stuff in orbit a single collision sets up a chain reaction.

How is that “gas-station posing as a nation” operating satellites? Given that it was a defunct satellite, they are not operating. Celestrak.com has a nice box score of satellites by nation or agency (e.g. UN or NATO). The U.S. is certainly dominant, with most of its satellites active. Britain, man for man and dollar for pound, is about as good as the U.S. and most of its satellites are also active. Russia has filled the skies with space junk, and is responsible for something like 99% of all orbital debris, save that from the Chinese stunt where they deliberately intercepted one of their own defunct meteorological satellites.

Probably spying on White Christians anyway.
