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

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.

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

Had the two satellites collided, we would have seen debris generation, tiny shards travelling at 10,000 miles per hour, waiting to puncture a hole in another spacecraft
+++++++++++++
Sounds like after such a collision, we could have a chain-reaction of satellite failures, followed by all that junk falling toward Earth..

I’m more worried about those North Korean satellites that track over the US and could generate an EMP blast (on purpose).
