Pew pew pew Kessler Syndrome here we come! (Ok yes, we're already in Kessler Syndrome, this is Kessler Syndrome: small collisions happen more and more frequently)
Follow up: I didn't read carefully. This may have been caused by an internal explosion rather than a debris collision (similar to what happened to another Starlink satellite a couple months ago). So... SpaceX will make Kessler Syndrome happen even faster with their exploding satellites, I guess. Weeee
Nine Oh Real@sundogplanets Ok, so instead of "flight whatever your are GO for TLI" mankind should also prepare for more "flight whatever, Huston UHF comm check"....
At least that´s how I would put it.
Or maybe: The guy who want´s himself emperor of Mars and become mankind a multi-planetary species is the same one who kills our chances getting anywhere above LEO.
edit: it´s TLI and not TIL
