US issues first ever fine for space junk to Dish Network
(www.bbc.com)
what about other countries?
Meanwhile here’s Starlink with 25,000 near misses and accelerating, doubling every 6 months.
I don't know nt get it. They only moved it half the distance that they needed, because it ran out of fuel. It's a relatively short distance and I'd expect space movement to keep moving, after I initiated, as there is no friction. Why did it stop moving once they were headed away?
