This is the kind of story that most mainstream media uses as a filler – however, it is a very important problem and one that gets worse by the launch. Oddly, “Evil Elon’s” company Space X is one of the best when it comes to not leaving random junk floating around. Supposedly, the Space Farce is developing a plan to begin “deorbiting” some of this junk because of the dangers it poses to our operations.
It’s going to get more crowded with Musk throwing more Starlink satellites in LEO.
Bezos is building a satellite station, Project Kuiper, as a competitor to Starlink.
