Kessler syndrome is a huge worry for future space travel and if countries keep blowing up satellites then it's going to get worse. There are some companies tackling it with lasers or nets

I partially read the story and it quoted around 8,000 satellites circle the Earth, both dead ones and live ones. That's a lot of stuff!!
