Voyager's computers may be no match for what we have today, but they were sturdy as hell.

Protecting the commons is something that is opposed by everybody with the means to exploit it. And they are the ones paying the salary of the governments. Even worse, orbital space isn't the only commons under that threat.
There are reports that say that frequent rocket launches can damage layers in the upper atmosphere that are crucial to our survival.
That depends on what his boss would say. Unfortunately, Putin is also a homophobe.

His FIL has enough slaves in his home town and is working on getting more indoctrinated.
They're neither crisis managers, nor counsels. The correct term is astroturfers. They all have some vested interests in doing so.

I'm skeptical about this report though. The magnetosphere extends way beyond the atmosphere where the space junk burns up. And most metal fragments reach the surface. The metal dust that may remain suspended in the ionosphere doesn't have the ability to block the magnetic field (the ionosphere already has a distinct sodium layer). All that aside, there are tonnes of metallic meteoroids entering the atmosphere every day without any issues.
The other reports I've seen suggest damage to the ozone layer and ionosphere due to rocket exhaust during the ascent.
