Side effect, intended or not, will be these companies encouraging junk.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoA side effect we've already seen is that these companies tend to be a bit more alarmist about conjunctions that are incredibly unlikely. I suppose it's good marketing.
- quantified 5y agoSpacejunk is not good and I expect is going to get much worse with all these “many and cheap” commercial satellites going up, plus I’ll assume a military encounter in the next 50 years to liven things up. Space tourism gets a little more exciting with 10,000 mph paint flakes knocking on your picture windows.
- jobigoud 5y agoI was thinking about this as well. A bit like the rumors that some viruses are created or spread by anti-virus companies.
