YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAre there too many satellites? On this explainer, Chuck Nice asks space environmentalist, Moriba Jah, about how the effort to create global satellite internet, by both SpaceX and Blue Origin, impacts low Earth orbit.
What’s the issue with sending more satellites to space? Should organizations that send things into orbit be responsible for getting stuff out of orbit? We discuss how long objects are allowed to stay in orbit after they stop being functional, how to deorbit them, and how we can enforce space junk removal. Are satellites maneuverable? Do we need a space traffic controller?
