The Space Junk Problem is About to Get WAY Worse
Elon Musk’s SpaceX just got approval from Trump’s FCC to double the number of satellites it has in Low Earth Orbit, and to bring them closer to Earth than ever before. Here’s what that means for the worsening space junk problem. 0:00 More space junk is coming 0:30 Satellites avoiding collision 0:58 Joe Supman and…

I heard a lot about Musk, but China’s 200,000 satellites barely got a passing mention. 😮

200,000 planned satellites. Let’s see how many they actually put up there starting in 2027 or 2028. Lots on the table until then.

The solution is simple: ablative lasers to slow orbits and deorbit debris. It will be expensive and will spark an arms race, but we are already in an arms race, and space-based lasers will be developed, maybe after an event that induces the kesseler syndrome.

Earth becoming like Saturn 🪐 Lol

Which is scary. Because, for those who don’t know. Saturn’s rings cast a permanent shadow on the planet.
As in whoever is under it will experience a permanent winter where nothing grows.
@De.Silver215

@averytucker790 I believe that the shadow cast by Saturn’s rings would move just like the shadow of our moon onto the earth, but the rings would add to the complexity of the weather and seasons.
@jongrover8763
February 24, 2026 at 5:31 pm
Worse because the rings are in a plane. Kessler effect would be more of a sphere

@zeitgeist888
February 22, 2026 at 7:05 pm
The danger is real but it can be mitigated. There does need to be some real effort on clearing space debris through capture and removal and possibly redirecting smaller debris into the atmosphere or somewhere out of normal orbit regions. Maybe space based lasers could help without being an obvious weapon.
@De.Silver215

I wonder how Saturn managed to organise/collect all its space rocks into rings.
@De.Silver215
February 22, 2026 at 9:46 pm
If only the space junk would eventually collect into an orbital ring. Then, at least we can claim we are becoming a mini Saturn.
@mischievoustroll
February 23, 2026 at 1:30 am
With how well we clean up after ourselves, I expect space will be cut off from us in a decade or two. Won’t be able to go up when there’s only a slim chance you won’t have a catastrophic impact from a screw moving at more than 22k/mph. Like the opening credits in the anime Planetes
@jamesgreen2495
February 23, 2026 at 8:12 am
Is there no global agency to stop this. It’s the next plastic and we know about it. Musk should be stopped.
Moving the satellites down will also make them move visible but Musk doesn’t care for astronomy or anyone else apart from greed and money for themselves. Soon space will be unaccessible and we will loose all our modern technology and be put back 70 years for the next century. Say goodbye to GPS, weather reporting, TV or any modern technology when it all goes wrong.

WTFark! That guy’s vocal fry forced me to mute the piece and watch captions. Which WTFark showed every Uh and Um from VFG (Vocal Fry Guy) and WHUF (What’s His Ugly Face). And 3rd WTFark, Oh, Hey, HELIUM, the element we are running out of is The Answer! Next up, another WTFark, more pap about asteroid mining. I truly hope KSyndrome happens, like, TOMORROW. Maybe a Do Not Recommend Channel is an option to purge my annoyance. Hm.
