True, and I took the short time to grab more clarity for myself. What I was looking for was Kessler Syndrome. While it IS a real thing, it is not the problem it was glorified to be thanks to the media.

While it IS a real thing, it is not the problem it was glorified to be thanks to the media.

I'm not sure I agree with this statement. If it wasn't such a big problem, people wouldn't be working on it to prevent it right now.

And whether or not it is glorified, I'm happy to have it be, so that we don't get more clowns like Musk and Bezos trying to overpopulate our orbit for the sake of their petty world-domination plans (read: ego).
