My apprehensions about living in GSO are over!
The rate that comms are colonizing orbit, or I should say the acceleration rate, feels like it can’t last for more than another decade or so before hundreds of thousands of satellites become each others Kessler nightmare.
But somehow, I expect systems will evolve to get much denser.
it’s probable not too early to consider future ring structures, for mounted satellites? Or an optimized distribution of long parking “star-bars”. As apposed to the free for all?
I expect reserved altitude shells, for space stations, depots and rocket/ship orbital maneuvers without the dodgeball.
