We are very very far from that happening. Even with most satellites being in the same torus around earth, if every single one in orbit right now were to instantly shatter, each piece would have something like a 1000sqkm volume to roam in.

There is no “airspace” controlled by countries in space, and the satellites are not geostationary, so they would have to shoot down everyone’s fleet.

There are already 1200 of them in orbit, can you go outside and point at a single one? When this controversy was started they addressed concerns by reducing the satellites reflectance and it seems to have worked.

That’s mechanical / system failure, like Toyota’s “sudden acceleration” problem years ago. The question is about wrong decisions made by self driving, where there is no clear failure mode.

The ISS orbits at 400km altitude and 27000km/h, while many small satellites will orbit lower - I suppose this is what makes it possible to “drop” a non-propulsive satellite from the ISS like the one in the article. As their orbit decay

Focus stacking is indeed done with a DSLR most of the time. You cannot get nearly enough DOF at this scale with any kind of lens. The author can do it from video because he has a 6K camera, and that is actually way easier compared to manual
