A Starlink satellite broke apart in orbit after suffering an unexplained "anomaly"
The more satellites are up there, the higher the chance one is obliterated by space junk or meteorites. The more obliterated satellites, the more space junk.
It’s going to be a massacre.
The actual name of this phenomenon is “the Kepler effect”
Its where the decades of space junk, grow to such a degree that they keep hitting other satellites and becomes the equivalent of a pinball machine with other satellites.
Its a big issue many have tried to solve
Ok hear me out… MAGNETS
Hundreds of em all in a big ball. Tie it to a counterweight and then spin that fucker through lower orbit like a skip-it and soak up all the debris!
Nothing could possibly go wrong.
