Dude, actually read. He said: >If every satellite we have put into space magically exploded, and the debris was magically moved to a high LEO altitude and evenly distributed to avoid any holes, then we could still launch through this orbit of death to higher altitudes with only a 1 in 1000 probability of impact. Sorry, but this is a pet peeve of mine. If you don't know anything about orbital mechanics or the fine details of spaceflight, don't smug about Kessler Syndrome. It's really vapid.
