Kessler syndrome intensifies! 💥

Starlink satellites are in a low enough orbit that a Kessler event would be short-lived

It was supposed to be a joke about the number of satellites used for this! 😅

Unfortunately misinformation isn't very funny, since it could genuinely mislead people

Fortunately they're launched so low that any collision would almost immediately deorbit the debris.
