A Chinese rocket breaks apart dangerously close to the Starlink constellation

The rocket's breakup likely generated 100 to 150 new pieces of space junk.

Kessler Syndome Collision?

Apparently a Chinese rocket has 'broken apart' at an altitude coincident with some Starlink satellites.

What is not stated is the cause of the 'break up'. Which raises the question if the rocket collided with a SpaceX Starlink satellite?

Are we seeing a Kessler Syndrome event?

We need a verb for actively contributing to the #KesslerSyndrome!
