Danger of Kessler Syndrome in LEO


The Kessler Syndrome is the idea that filling Earth’s orbit with too many satellites will inevitably cause failures to occur, leading to a cascading series of collisions that eventually distributes a layer of debris across the entire orbit, making it impossible to reach space from our planet. 

According to new research, we’re actually closer to this scenario than we thought. 

If this happens much of the Earth will go dark.

Nations ignore this at our own peril.
