Arnd LayerIsn’t it #ironic that the guy who promised a #MarsColony is probably the same that throws us back centuries by causing the #KesslerSyndrome with his LEO satellites?

Already there's a shitton of evasive maneuvers in low earth orbit and millions of objects measung 8.000t weight in total are being tracked.
- And the frequency of said maneuvers isn't going down as #billionaires keep polluting it with absurdly huge megaconstellations that only achieve sabotaging the ROI calculations for rural #FTTB / #FTTH rollouts…
- Plus actively causing #KesslerSyndrome is kinda making one an international Pariah, just beaten by NBC warfare and -terrorism.
Anyone else remember #Iridium 33 and #Cosmos2251 crashing into each other at 11,7 km/s at an almost 90° angle?
Satellites: Crimes Against Space
John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺At this rate, I expect that it won't be long until we see cascading failures via the #KesslerSyndrome .
jbz🛰️ Blue Origin applies to launch 51,000 datacenter satellites
｢ launch “up to 51,600 satellites operating in sun-synchronous orbits from 500–1,800 km, with inclinations between 97 degrees and 104 degrees, with each orbital plane containing approximately 300–1,000 satellites ｣

ananasSometimes I wonder if us reaching Kessler syndrome now would actually be a good thing.
By the time we get rid of it, we might've learnt a thing or two on what we should or should not send into space once it would become reasonable again.
While I know there's a lot of useful stuff up there, pretty much the only thing I worry about are scientific space telescopes.

Trevor McLeodYikes! #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 that really dense shell - including #ISS, including #astronauts.
