    The actual name of this phenomenon is “the Kepler effect”

    Its where the decades of space junk, grow to such a degree that they keep hitting other satellites and becomes the equivalent of a pinball machine with other satellites.

    Its a big issue many have tried to solve

      Ok hear me out… MAGNETS

      Hundreds of em all in a big ball. Tie it to a counterweight and then spin that fucker through lower orbit like a skip-it and soak up all the debris!

      Nothing could possibly go wrong.
