Space junk poses terrifying threats. Here’s what that means for SpaceX’s megaconstellation

Imagine this scenario: A single satellite loses power and smashes, uncontrolled, into another satellite. They explode, sending plumes of junk charging through space at 23 times the speed of sound. A piece of that debris slams into another satellite, and it sets off a chain reaction that obliterates everything orbiting in nearby altitudes. In low-Earth orbit, that could include multibillion-dollar networks like Starlink, the International Space Station, spy satellites and Earth-imaging technology. Nothing would remain except an impenetrable graveyard of rubbish that could ground rocket launches for years, maybe even centuries.
