This is a nightmare scenario where one collision triggers a chain reaction of more collisions, creating an exponential cascade of new, deadly junk.

With each new spacecraft launched, the risk of orbital collisions grows.

if you want to worry about satellite debris lemme tell you a little story about something called "Starlink"...

SpaceX’s Satellites Are Falling From the Sky Every Single Day
If Starlink continues scaling up operations, there could be as many as five of these satellites raining down on us daily.

With space junk clouding Earth’s orbit, are we barreling toward ‘Kessler Syndrome’? | CNN
The concept known as “Kessler Syndrome” was proposed nearly five decades ago. Experts weigh in on whether the space-based disaster scenario is already unfolding.
