  The night sky is also polluted by your home’s lighting and car headlights but that doesn’t seem to be a problem for most people.

    yeah, you can’t turn off your home’s lighting, additionally everyone lives in citiee anyway, so it’s moot!

  Kessler syndrome is about a chain reaction that destroys everything in orbit and keeps us from accessing space for years.
