Fascinating. How would a country defend against this sort of attack?
- morkalork 3y agoWith a stockpile of their own anti-sat weapons and the threat of MAD.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoStarlink doesn't need defending. It's too low to cause Kessler, and big enough that the loss of a small number of satellites is inconsequential. It's a different story for pretty much every other satellite, though. GPS, for example.
- Retric 3y agoYou also avoid Kessler with geosynchronous orbits anytime soon because everything out there is all doing the exact same orbit and thus the relative velocity is very low. It also helps that the orbital shell is so huge.
