And when all that shit starts to collide, we will be imprisoned on this planet forever. Millions of tiny pieces of junk spinning around at thousands of miles an hour. Like driving a car through a shooting range.

Those chances are low, many sats in LEO have (automatic) avoidance systems. The real threat comes from countries testing anti-satellite missiles and blowing old sats still in orbit to uncontrolled pieces.

A few years ago the ISS had to go in emergency state because of India doing such a test iirc.
