Should I find a bunker?
- nwah1 6y agoI assume the fear of this sort of thing is the potential for causing Kessler Syndrome.
- soldehierro 6y agoNo, there's not a risk of space debris.
- m12k 6y agoYou don't need to find a bunker, but there's a risk that we'll soon have a lot more 'space debris' in orbit. If a collision happens, it'll basically turn the colliding satellites into scattershot, leading to a higher likelyhood of other smaller collisions with other satellites (less spectacular but could still disable even more satellite). Not sure how likely the latter scenario is, but it could get very costly if it did happen.
