“As far as we know, no coordination or deconfliction with existing satellites operating in space was performed, resulting in a 200 meter close approach between one of the deployed satellites and STARLINK-6079 (56120) at 560 km altitude.”

      Don’t forget how hundreds to thousands of them routinely fail and/or otherwise deorbit themselves, thus necessitating constant replenishment.

      Its basically the least sustainable, most insane space paradigm currently actually possible with our tech and resources.

      After all, I’m sure we can just undo a Kessler Syndrome cascade effect.

      Right?
