So, humans are doing the same thing to space as they have been doing to Earth. Good to know at least we're consistent.
My favorite Elon Musk conspiracy theory is that he’s planning to intentionally blow up the starlink satellites once he’s on his way to mars to Kessler syndrome earth for a few years so he can set up his kingdom there.
Grippers sabotaging their potential for grip in space is a win in my book.
Setting myself on fire deprives my employer of his ability to exploit my labor, yes, but it does also set me on fire, Sir.
If it is impossible to get into space because of garbage, we will stop dreaming about space exploration, and instead realize that we are stuck on Earth and that we need to take care of it.
We didn't take care of the earth before we could reach into space so I'm not buying that
We will have to. Or we will die.
Plenty of current and future Earth observation satellites are at risk as well.
Also gps
Well, those are in higher orbits where there's a lot more space. LEO is the biggest problem because it's got the majority of all satellites and debris and it's relatively small. GEO ~~is also pretty crowded~~, but almost all the satellites there are flying in neat synchronization, because, well, Geostationary orbits.
Edit:
Maximum debris concentrations can be noted at altitudes of 800-1000 km, and near 1400 km. Spatial densities in GEO and near the orbits of navigation satellite constellations are smaller by two to three orders of magnitude.
Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
