I think SpaceX might be more likely to hinder progress, given that it is increasing the frequency of rocket launches and hoping to deploy thousands of satellites. This could very likely lead to Kessler Syndrome from all the space junk, and ground our species... possibly permanently.
- Nadya 10y agoGraveryard orbits and atmospheric reentry are the solutions to Kessler that at least the US mandates. If push game to shove, I'm sure we could find some satellites to knock out of orbit. I highly doubt as a species that we would remain grounded permanently. Although there is a lot of junk out there already: http://i.stack.imgur.com/nxIh2.jpg http://i.stack.imgur.com/nxIh2.jpg
