The danger of space debris has now increased.

All countries are responsible for the space debris up there. I'm sure if we had a view from space looking down, we'd see a literal space landfill. That is disgusting! Humans don't care to literally trash the Earth, they definitely don't care up there. I for one wish Elon Musk wouldn't put up so many Starlinks. I hate seeing so many satellites going past when I'm trying to stargaze. To me, focus on clean air, water, food, not the "internet for all".

Yeah. Space debris has been a problem for a while now that nobody seems to want to address fully. What startled me is that the article said that this added debris comes at a time when companies are scheduling up to 70,000 commercial space flights. To where!? To what end?
