@Sierraquel_XR@adic_9@donaldjewkes Just because they’ve always been like this doesn’t mean it’s healthy.
I’m not saying it’s one way or the other.
‘Eating healthily has always been this way’ and ‘cigarettes have always been this way’ - not the same level of health risk.
Update:
On June 26 EST, we first shared publicly that we had detected a debris-generating event in #LEO. A non-operational Russian spacecraft, #ResursP1, released several fragments.
Here's our analysis of the likely cause. ⤵️
It may take 100 years before we are able to build on-orbit refining and manufacturing facilities, but that doesn’t mean we can’t start planning for it now.
Are we being shortsighted when it comes to things like this?
Many of these objects (satellites, rocket bodies, ISS etc) are a part of humanity’s industrial heritage. They show how we got “here from there”.
If all the collected large items were moved to one spot in an empty orbit, it would reduce the danger of future collisions as well as providing access to many thousands of tons of resources in the future.

@MonicSquare @netflixkcontent@netflix It’s also vanished from @NetflixUK … just in time for the finale.
If Netflix will pull a series just before the finale, then I’m not going to start watching anything new ‘just in case’.

@planet4589 @ProfHughLewis With more objects using composite materials and carbon fibre in their construction they are less likely to burn up in reentry. If they break up into multiple parts upon reentry then there could potentially be thousands of objects plummeting through controlled airspace each year.
"The @18thSDS has confirmed the breakup of Orbcomm FM 36 (#25984), which likely occurred March 11, 2023, at approximately time 0145 UTC. As of March 16, 18 SDS is tracking 7 associated pieces at ~792 km. Analysis is ongoing."
