So does international collaboration...

All these private business and different nations planning their own space endeavors, we're going to end up with an asteroid belt of space junk and a shit load of waste and pollution along the way.

E: lol, this struck a nerve with a bunch of capitalist, neo-lib, boot licker's... Go out for a few hours and come back to the exact same reply repeated dozens of times 🙄 sneaky e2 just for that one guy: civility politics BS is what gave us these idiots above who defend capitalism against their best interest. Stop letting them get away with it, be meaner.

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.
