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?

If I were to write an article I would now call it Waiting For Kessler.
It would mention how happy I am that a bunch of stupid ideas will now never get off the ground. (See data centres, reflect orbital)
It would also mention how happy I am about Space X and Starlink being worth nothing just like that.
I would lament, though, about my imminent loss of internet connection (not Starlink) because I live in the bush.

It you use one of the geosync services like DirectTV, that will be fine, as they are in a much much higher orbit.

It's not Friday.
You can push to Kessler unless it's a Friday.
