- Gravityloss 8y agostrictly thinking, it doesn't "become", we have made and will make it unnavigable.
- Retric 8y agoThat’s not on the table. You can clear LEO in minutes where satilites need clear orbits over years to be useful. Further, atmospheric drag keeps some orbits clear even in the worst case. The problem is you then need to constantly burn some fuel to maintain orbit.
