Chinese are getting very sophisticated in a short amount of time. Seems the 1990s became a technological enlightenment for the red and yellow government. Hmmmmmm, wonder how that happened.
I really hope we don’t rely to much on satellites if there is ever a major war. The Chinese would just intentionally spread debris everyplace.
Is it ‘bound to happen’? Sure, but over what time span? What are the odds that the number of satellites currently in space will have precisely the same altitude and will intersect with another’s orbit, at the same exact instant in time? How often would one expect one such an event? Maybe one was intentionally placed in the same orbit at some point, perhaps nefariously, and their relative closeness resulted in a collision, but I want someone smarter than me to calculate the probability and such before my suspicions will be put to rest that this is just a one in ? years event.
