The space junk problem is only going to get worse isn’t it?
Just like the Starlink sats, these are at very low orbit. They will not produce junk, they will burn up in the atmosphere.
Long term, anyway.
Imagine if radical space junk protestors started destroying satellites.
Probably would create more space debris in the process, but I could see something like this happening?
