      I'm waiting for it all to go "boom" like a nuclear chain reaction.

        Space exploration is just the search for another planet we can move to when there's nothing left to destroy on this one.

          I was trying to figure out why the Russians would want a nuclear anti satellite weapon. If it wraps the EMP around the world covering part of the sphere, it'd be every satellite near enough in that orbit. If they lost command and control capability it might be a bunch of falling stars at once. It would really really tick off a whole bunch of people though.

                Regulation of added debris is a must. Space is big but not unlimited unless you go really deep.

                            The problem is that we want that junk to be there! Well ... not as junk. But we are very excited about those operations leaving junk up there. For example: Which IT guy is critical to StarLink, planning up to 42,000 satellites in space, because it contributes to the space junk? Which free-market, free-competition guy is negatative when five competitors to StarLink each want to put another set of 40-50,000 satellites in the sky? We are not willing to sacrifice unlimited communication capacity just to reduce the amount of space junk. We are not willing to sacrifice free competition just to reduce the amount of space junk.

                              Hey with the amount of debris out there, could the cumulative shadow of the stuff reduce the amount of solar radiation hitting the Earth thereby reducing the effect of global warming? ;P

                              I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

                                  Space is big. Really big. It's not like you can reach the outer stratosphere, take a look around, and see a debris field. This is not entirely unlike the so-called plastic garbage patch ("the size of Texas") floating around in the Pacific. Have you seen an actual picture of it?

                                    I agree. The new stuff will probably have to be able to dodge debris if staying long in orbit.

                                      The animation is not to scale. Increase the size of the parts further and it will look even scarier. Decrease the size of the parts till they are to scale and you won't see anything as they are all far smaller than a pixel.

                                          We ought to send up a giant horseshoe magnet and just pull the debris out as a cloud between the sun and the earth like a beach umbrella to mitigate climate change. Brilliant, right?!? Right?!?
