This is a plausible scenario though. There's lots of shit up there, they need to track their movement very carefully. At some point we will need some kind of cleaning system or launching new satellites or rockets becomes extremely difficult

You don't a place a satellite in orbit with random chance. It's calculated you fucking mong. Meaning these path crossing events are taken into consideration. There is an entire USAF space command center monitoring and making sure it can't happen.

The solution is simple leaf, a laser from ground level can be used to accelerate or slow down debris causing them to fly off into space or burn up. No one is putting frag mines in orbit to fuck everyone's shit up.

You realize the orbital area is greater than the surface area of the Earth itself? We couldn't physically make enough satellites for that to be a problem.

LITERALLY SHAKING
Jack Reyes
Are you implying it's not possible? I think you are mistaken.
You actually think that satellites have sensors to detect other satelites (We physically can't do this to the degree it's needed) and move in 6DoF to avoid them
Yeah, it's beyond laughable

Shut the fuck up. Japan just launched a towing and debris removal satellite. The cleaning has already started. It's like how white people Dug canals for shit and garbage to flow out of the city in the old days into a big cesspool. When it gets too dirty, it starts getting cleaned. Especially when Trillions of dollars are at risk.
The trouble is just learning the most efficient way to clean.
Jacob Hughes
>tells others they don't understand space >is completely and hopelessly unaware of basic, 101 space facts like how if, get this, an object is too close to earth, it will fall down, and if it's too far, it'll fly away, so they must all be near the same space.. And they're all moving at high speed.. and there's literally tens of thousands of them.. AND the space ISN'T as big as you think
It's not even an issue of if it'll happen, it's an issue of when.
It's amazing watching these completely ignorant people that don't understand basic, basic, kindergarten levels of space education, calling others ignorant
It could be that the first such collision won't happen for hundreds of years.
imagine 1000 randomly placed people walking around the surface of the earth in totally straight lines , swimming/climbing is need be.
How long do you estimate it would take before one of them bumped into another?
Now imagine that in space where you also have different altitudes
So don't talk about it being inevitable without at least providing an estimate of the expected time until the first collision with some applied probability.
Brandon Ross
DUUURRR LMAO SPACE IS BIG AND SATELLITES NEVER COLLIDE ITS NEVER GONNA HAPPEN LMAO WHY SHOULD WE CARE
>the entire technological capacity of the human race cannot figure out how to deal with 60,000 items which are easily trackable and move on predictable paths
Owen Howard
Literally nothing in this article is relevant to what's being discussed, other than you are providing an article that proves collisions in orbit ARE a risk
Thanks for proving me right, desu?
Caleb Ortiz
Literally the article talks about steering satellite to avoid collision, something you claimed wasn't possible
Can you get BTFO any harder?
Hudson Hill
So what youre saying is that satellites have collided before and everything is still just fine?
It takes one collision (doesn't even have to be with another satellite, could be a shower of external debris like an asteroid) for enough damage to spend enough parts spinning out of control that there will be serious, serious consequences
Find something glass. A plate, or a cup. Put it in a garbage bag. Break it. Poor the garbage bag into a pool.
Now find every single piece of glass. This isn't even a fraction of the difficulty of space debris.
Gabriel Cook
You realize a satellite destroying weapon is more likely to set this problem off than solve it right?
Austin Lopez
You're a leaf
Easton Nelson
>It could be that the first such collision won't happen for hundreds of years.
The fuck are you talking about? It's already happened.
this basically, right now there are only about 2200 satellites, and 13,000-15,000 pieces of space junk. The satellites use 95% of a surface area hundreds of thousand of times greater than earths. (because there are many many layers of orbit)
for comparison there are about 1 billion cars on earth that exist on only 27% ish of earth surface area.
Jeremiah White
Now post a link about a standard satellite doing even a single step out of their procedure, instead of talking about the fucking international space station in a discussion of autonomous orbital objects.
Pretty sure all satellites are set at a critical orbit, meaning without slight adjustments to their trajectory they will eventually fall to earth's atmosphere.
Xavier Turner
You literally can see them without a telescope. I have seen them. They look like a slowly moving star
Carter Long
Yeah, a few migrants into a country wont be an issue, lets let more in, what damage could they possibly do?
Its not like the amount of space junk is growing exponentially or anything. Its not like its becoming harder and harder to track.
Ethan Jones
Satellites are a hoax. They don't exist.
Isaac Foster
"Engineers at ESA’s Space Operations Centre, ESOC, in Darmstadt, Germany, currently control five satellites in low orbits and expect six more to join them in the next few years."
No, I just figured you were smart enough to realize we're talking about satellites in existence, not an extremely miniscule amount of satelites that still don't actually offer what we're talking about (sensing and avoiding incoming debris. What you linked is based on knowledge of existing debris.. AKA, has nothing to do with a rogue satellite, or an asteroid, or debris from any previous collision, which is what the thread is about)
Can you get BTFO harder? Stop embarrassing yourself, I legitimately feel bad destroying the ignorant
Elijah Martin
It'd fuck up GPS, comms aren't an issue, that's mostly done with long distance fibre optic. Satcom is for blue water ships and people in the bush.
John Wood
You know that they do controlled demolitions of unused satellites to test missiles, right? I mean, you do know this, right?
Austin Roberts
Even airplanes have collided in midair and they have people steering them
Andrew James
>No, I just figured you were smart enough to realize we're talking about satellites in existence So these five orbitting satellites they talk about in the article don't exist? You really are failing miserably here.
Carter Sullivan
No you see a glowing dot and ""they"" tell you it is the ISS. You have been fooled.
ALSO please give me 15 incidents where satellites collided with eachother please. ill be fucking waiting.
