Prof. Sam LawlerTomorrow I've got an interview with the Financial Times and then the Wall Street Journal to talk about space junk and satellite pollution. So I guess maybe people with money are starting to notice that the commercial space race is a really really bad idea?
Kalkail@sundogplanets I was just reading on how the satellite clutter is actively hampering radio astronomy, piling radiation into protected research bands, and polluting space photography. Plus, space junk is apparently creating vaporized metal? As a layperson, it is alarming how much private interest has been allowed to run amok to the ruin of all.
