Kessler syndrome isn't an issue now, but as more projects like SpaceX's starlink program go online, it could become one. Starlink's goal is to deploy many thousands of satelites.

Yeah, starlink is planning on putting 8,000 satellites in low LEO, and 4000 in high LEO. The low ones don’t matter but the high ones are certainly worth thinking about.

Sorry -- people having very badly informed opinions about spaceflight are a pet peeve.

Apologies if I'm being rude. I'll stop commenting.
