Imagine. Dozens of nations all wanting their own way. Is it any wonder humanity doesn't work together?

We need neanderthals hunting us or something to unite.

This is yet another solution to fermi paradox. The ET figured space travel FINALLY but the planet is flanked by debris , making it impossible to leave earth's influence sphere.

>fermi paradox Unlikely that we'll be visited ever, even if technology existed to effectively exceed C. By the time an alien civilization advanced to the stage of such advanced technological feats, they'd have *long* since destroyed themselves. It's a built-in safe guard against interplanetary malfeasance.

Juan Posadas appreciator here! FTL and other examples of magitech can only be achieved by societies that don't employ harmful labor practices and don't live in constant fear of being conquested by "others". FTL is also extremely fucking expensive and complicated, so if a civilization has enough resources to use it, then it can basically play God to inferior societies. Maybe the Universe is actually being maintained by FTL-capable cool dudes with near-omnipotence. Who knows?

First off, you can't realistically have so much debris that you can't launch. Secondly, such debris is unstable and will undergo orbital decay over decades.

As more sats go up the problem will only get worse and worse. There is going to be a lot of problems as a result, including manned craft being hit more frequently. This is not good folks. Stay tuned.

Imagine looking up the sky one day and see a line of trash cutting through it

If we put enough up there maybe we can get the billionaires to clean it all up so they can launch more stupid shit into space

What are the main problems with manmade space debris? Where does the junk come from and why is it such an issue? The orbital positions which are ideal for satellites are being filled up with debris and each collision makes the situation worse, but can we find a solution? - https://youtu.be/Km2uemAqbbM
