"Buried deep in SpaceX’s freshly filed IPO paperwork..."
"The pre-IPO disclosures lay it out cleanly. SpaceX warns that “the continued proliferation of satellite constellations in Low-Earth Orbit, as well as the risk of collisions with space debris or other spacecraft, could limit or impair our launch flexibility and satellite deployment.”

@mastodonmigration @sundogplanets The night skies will be awesome to look at for a year or two at least once The Great Cleanup starts.

"The company goes further, acknowledging that as more objects crowd LEO, “the probability of accidental collisions, fragmentation events, or other in-orbit incidents increases, which could result in the loss or degradation of our satellites, increased costs for collision avoidance maneuvers, or the need to replace or reposition assets on an accelerated schedule.”

And the kicker...
"A worst-case scenario is flagged: a strike that could “trigger a cascading collision event that renders our licensed orbits, and potentially other orbits, unusable for an extended period."

A meteor could make space the final frontier for humankind decades in the future.
If GPS were in any way disrupted because of Space junk just getting in the way of the signal those affect would probably shut down the global economy enlarge measure.
The modern economy has long stringy, thin and brittle supply chains strung out everywhere, everywhere around around the globe and in orbit.

We are clearly going to need a Starship that can refuel in orbit for The Great Cleanup
