    We’re totally going to get Kessler syndromed by all of these companies sending massive constellations of satellites into orbit, huh?

      Although I agree that we shouldn’t overdo it, LEO is not that bad. Everything that’s up there will come down on it’s own. As long as it doesn’t explode and yeets debris into a higher orbit that is

        Yeahhhh, I just don’t really trust Amazon and space x to do both orbital mechanics and communication with other operators correctly.

        You need two coordinating thrusts to raise orbit. Worst case it goes up slightly before going even lower and it burns up faster.

      Nah these things are too low. They’re designed to deorbit and burn up within like 5 years anyway.

        And thereby destroying the ozone layer again…

        (Probably, unsure if this is confirmed?)

          Why are you in orbit?

            Sorry, I don’t think we know each other well enough for me to answer a question that personal.
