The concern is the precedent. If we let people just put up anything we could end up with (worst case) Kessler syndrome.

- PHGamer 9y agopreventive measures are nice but pointless. we should develop technology such that whatever is floating above cant interfere with the object we put up regardless of it getting hit. More stuff going into space is going to be an inevitability and the US won't be able to stop other countries space programs from doing and launching what we dont like.
- dmoy 9y ago> regardless of it getting hit. How is that possible? I mean that sounds like a problem that is physically impossible. We can't prevent problems when collisions occur at 100km/hr, let alone 10000+km/hr. Unless I'm misunderstanding your proposal....
