Don't Look Up, Space is Filled With Junk

Durham NC (SPX) Oct 31, 2025
In the early days of space exploration, satellites were rare. Each launch was a feat of engineering and ambition, sending machines far above the Earth into orbits where they could drift undisturbed. These high-altitude paths offered vast expanses of space, minimizing the risk of collision. The sky was a lot quieter. These days, however, "aim higher" is no longer the mantra. Low Earth Orbit (LEO), once sparsely populated, has become the new frontier for newly launched satellites, said Giovann ... read more
