Earth Orbit Has A Junk Problem

The video discusses the prevalence and risks of space debris, highlighting the Kessler Syndrome and its potential to cause catastrophic collisions. It explains the physics behind these collisions and the challenges in managing smaller debris. Efforts by organizations like the European Space Agency and Leo Labs to track and mitigate debris are covered, along with the impact of space warfare on debris generation.

Discuss the role of Leo Labs in tracking orbital debris.

What impact did the destruction of satellites by countries like Russia and the US have on space debris?
