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

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...

Yes indeed!

These are the same morons who assure us, with their calculations, that Apophis will miss Earth, by a driver and a three wood, in a few years...

nearly 12,000 currently in earth orbit

how the hell there have not been many many more near misses

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).
