    I’ve linked a video explaining it, please watch it, its a actual issue and “space is big” doesn’t mean earth orbit being a cloud of shrapnel is ok.

      I get it. And I am not saying this is the optimal solution. I am saying that out of the 30000 objects big enough to track in orbit, 5000 of those being internet providing satellites seems, to me, like a worthwhile trade-off until something better comes along to not leave every rural person on earth out of the information economy that they are all subservient to, to some extent.
