@sundogplanets I know the term from the anime series Planetes (2004)

@sundogplanets From "Planetes"!

@RachelThornSub @sundogplanets Planetes is a top-tier anime, I think I knew about it beforehand but the series made the problems way more clear.

I did too, I really hope this isn’t what the future holds for us.

Just last year I took a photograph of the night sky and managed to capture several satellites in just one picture. The results of what even more satellites would look like frightens me

@sundogplanets Re-learned the meaning, again

@sundogplanets

Being honest here, I was about to click "Yes, I've Known a while" confident that I knew what it was, then I stopped myself looked it up and realized I'm wrong.

Confidence of fools, I actually believed I knew what it was.

Just awesome how many people mentioned that very Manga / Anime about some „simple garbage men“ in space 🥰

@sundogplanets I only knew it from Kerbal Space Program

@sundogplanets weird, I can select an option (never heard of it) but the VOTE button is un-action-able.

@sundogplanets I picked up Kessler Cascade from Schlock Mercenary, specifically from a large number of mirror satellites orbiting earth in a ring, and used for advertising. They were also hijacked to point all their light at once place.
