@knud No, it's a gradual thing. From what I understand, collisions are expected to start within about a decade. Starlink's maneuvering buys some time, but due to satellite failures and unpredictable drag events during solar outbursts, collisions are literally inevitable.
@planet4589.bsky.social also said on a panel discussion that he's increasingly seeing events in which trackable debris is appearing from a satellite which wasn't incapacitated. So presumably something quite small has hit it and knocked off bits that were big enough to track, but not big enough to destroy the satellite.

Reading the flood of news today about the new Auschwitzes and Buchenwalds being formed in the United States is horrifying me to my core.
Concentration camps are here, right next door to us now. Go read about the conditions at them. They are death camps, a few at first, then many.
Nothing can be normal again.
People don't seem to get this message but it's the single most important thing to know on this day.
There is no timeline where this ends well. This only ends in death, and more death.
