The Race to Remove Space Junk Before the #KesslerSyndrome Begins: High-stakes engineering solutions-harpoons, magnetic nets, robotic grapplers, and ion-beam shepherds-being developed to intercept derelict satellites and rocket stages. #SpaceJunk.

"Kessler suggested the best way to avoid the exponential growth of the collisions was to reduce the number of non-operational spacecraft left in orbit."

3/4- so if it’s PAST Type A MISHAP for #KesslerSyndrome & THAT didn’t matter when #Musk’s TEMU JUNK satellites-which Russia makes in Iran partially & hardwires Starlink in them,NASA said of recent space mishap that was under classified as Type 4 INSTEAD of Type 1-and Artemis crew can’t pee now?

"The big fear is future collisions will cause a domino effect where Earth’s orbit becomes cluttered with tiny, high-speed bits of metal...creating a near-impenetrable layer of debris that would make space launches so dangerous it would essentially trap humans on Earth."

A brief article with some interesting visualization.
"This feels fragile."
"Today, Earth’s orbit is packed with thousands of satellites and fragments – around 32,000 in total – all circling the planet at immense speed."

Syndrome is a good term to describe our inability to understand and accept natural limits of islands or spheres. Eternal life in heaven is much more likely than infinite growth on a finite planet. Every new child, new cow or new car is a wafer thin mint.

Yikes! #musk wants to add a million #satellites
Who is going to clean up the junk and how over time? The #climatecrisis will only make matters worse.

#Starlink is doing one collision avoidance maneuver every two minutes on average. Starlink recently announced they’re moving down to 350 km, shifting #satellites 🛰️ to even lower orbits. Everybody has to go through through that really […]

“Some fragments carry paints, fuels, or heavy metals, & their slow breakdown can spread contaminants into nearby currents. Over time the pieces corrode & disperse, but the deep seafloor keeps most of that story out of sight.“ #KesslerSyndrome #SouthPacific #oceans #SpaceJunk

www.jalopnik.com/2105342/spac.... Loser Musk is responsible for injecting lithium into our outer atmosphere & pushing the Space Junk Quota to #KesslerSyndrome levels: does “Big Brain” solve that? No because he’s pumping his stocks; Musk is dying. @demgovs.org won’t inflict mortal wound & ban him 1/2

I really thought this was Musk talking shit again, but he’s serious. This is a guy who watched Gravity and said ‘That’s cool, but they were thinking too small. Let’s make it so that we can never go into space again.’

Yes, you may be killed by falling human made space junk, but the odds remain small(ish) that will occur. The (almost inevitable) #KesslerSyndrome may also prevent future #space flights if all those #satellites in Low Earth Orbit start colliding, creating countless debris.
However, we *ALL* have […]
