The 25 year requirement isn't a panacea, because deorbit mechanisms are not going to be perfectly reliable decades after launch. They increase the number of satellites you can fly somewhat.

Nah; even if LEO is hazardous "on average" and will out a new spacecraft there within few weeks, you can still safely (enough) pass through.

It can't affect any significantly higher orbit. Because of overlaps in orbital altitudes and the possibility of weird dynamics causing some fragments reaching a somewhat higher orbit, it's possible that the effects could cascade

That's a valid point. Also: Nazi imagery now symbolizes ultimate evil, but that's the effect of history and reflection and cultural symbols changing. Fascism, including in 1930s Germany, is always packaged up in appealing packagin

Hedonic adjustments are important but, as you point out, have issues. But, affordability isn't represented well by inflation, either. Median family income in 1950 was equivalent to $45k today; the actual number is $100k. A big part of

Singapore's math program in elementary is actually much less recitation and rote based than we are used to in Western mathematics education. Indeed, it's very much pictorial and intuition-building in ways that fans of DI tend to

As others here have pointed out -- you don't need to do lithography 300 times. The big breakthrough of 3D NAND is depositing alternating layers of films to build most of the layers. This is 3 stacks of >100 layers.
