Spacex will cause Kessler syndrom and bring the world economy down.

As long as those satellites are in a self-clearing orbit (below about 300 miles of altitude), Kessler is not a concern.

I like that “not being able to use space for 25 years or more” is not a concern.

It is a concern. We have to ensure those satellites are in a self clearing orbit.

I think we agree but 300 seems too high to me. Maybe 250.

Meh. It's more like how else are you gonna set 10X the money on fire that Zuckerberg did with the metaverse?
