and next we'll see this spiral into another mini space race as Pakistan "independently obtains" this capability courtesy of China and whatever technology Pakistan acquires proliferates to regimes and groups you'd least want those tech to end up with..

We handle space just as well as we do with Earth. Space however almost doesn't recover on its own. Those tiny particles are too light and are going too fast to drop down to earth.

If we cannot clean it up, we have a problem. Satellites are an essential part of our society.
