Just like Wall-E.
Wasn't Earth just over polluted so humanity had left?
And they eventually went back because they learned staying in space was a mistake.
But I don't remember the part about the orbits being so crowded or full of trash that you cannot grt on or off planet

Eve spacecraft goes through quite a few dead spacecrafts when escaping Earth
Now rewatching it is hard not to notice how stationary the space junk appears in that scene.
In which case it would all be falling to earth.
Either that or it’s all moving at the same orbital speed at the launching ship and the ship is actually spiraling out from the planet, not launching directly into deep space.
