One Step Closer to Kessler Syndrome

[Anianna]

If you are unfamiliar with Kessler Syndrome, it's essentially the point at which the density of low-earth orbit objects, including debris, results in a cascade of collisions that isolate us from space and removes our access to orbital satellite technology.

The defunct USA 32 (or Farrah III) satellite, which launched in 1988, broke apart without warning on Sept. 13, around 480 miles above Earth's surface. Experts are still unsure what caused this sudden fragmentation, how many pieces it created, or how the debris might impact other nearby spacecraft.

It's possible that space debris is to blame and we're already witnessing the beginning of the Kessler Syndrome event.  

Of course, US Space Force recently disclosed that it has weapons in space and shooting  a Cold War-era spy satellite would be both an interesting shot across the bow by Russia to disclose its own weapons in space or even a false flag event to further spur the Red Scare type of ideology that some leaders seem to be trying to restart, but that's as much as I will say about that given the rules.  Regardless of how it starts, a Kessler Event won't be great for anybody.

if it keeps us in; will it keep our reptilian overlords out?

Why do you say that as if they aren't already here?
