>Please tell me that you don't actually think the problem will be a physically impenetrable wall. No, why would you think that outside of what (((hollyweird))) uses as a depiction of Earth orbit junk and satellites? I was saying the exact opposite where there is vast open space with no sizeable objects in them at all. >The problem is micro debris that you can't track and how much of it do you need before it starts impacting your chance of survival. Also there is no way to ever remove this shit the problem can only ever get worse. The starlink satellites are not broken down into micro-debris yet. Their altitude is low enough that their orbits will decay and burn up in the atmosphere. If they are unresponsive and cannot be boosted into higher orbit to prevent decay, it won't be long before they re-enter and get consumed. >Think of a marble hitting something at mach 20. That's always been a problem with or without man-made satellites. The important part here is how likely that is to actually happen. How much space do you think there is exactly? It's very big up there and the chances of hitting a marble-sized object moving at high velocity is very, very low. I think you'd win the lottery sooner than get hit by one of those objects.
