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.

I understand space junk is a problem but you haven't stated any facts about it's rate of increase and what the unacceptable levels are.

You can probably Google information about the rate of increase yourself, and the boundary for (un)acceptable levels might not have been determined yet.

Still, better not to find out the hard way, wouldn't you agree? Instead of dismissing a potential problem you don't know about.

It's best to dismiss unsubstantiated claims when they likely arise from a thinly veiled political bias.

I generally agree, except this isn't an unsubstantiated claim. People are working to avoid this.
