  Everything in low earth orbit (LEO) decays and falls back to earth due to drag; as there is a very, very small amount of air there. The starlink satellites are all in LEO.

  Space junk is mostly a problem higher up. In the higher orbits, old satellites move themselves to graveyard orbits; places where nobody really wants a satellite.

    you say this, and NASA completely disagrees about the problem of junk in LEO, all well before Mr.MAGA-MC-Slavemines started adding to the problem

    you know it’s difficult who to trust, the man who caused several deaths after he had the warning striped removed due to his dislike of yellow, or NASA

  Having one superconstilation up there is fine, my concern is that once there are 2 or 3 of them, the communication between them to avoid each other will become a mess
