Anything could, a soyuz rocket exploding would invalidate any launches for the next 5 to 10 years. Boom and shards all over the atmosphere.

- simonh 8y agoIf the shards are in the atmosphere, they'll fall to the ground immediately. Even the IIS at over 300km altitude needs a boost every now and then to maintain altitude due to the drag of the rarefied atmosphere that high up. Very few satellites are put in orbits below 300km because they'd only stay up for a few years or less.
