>>11815925Most powerful cuntries (US, China, Russia) have developed laser tech that can destroy space junk. But it's dangerous practise - collateral ricochet damage can affect fully functional satellites nearby.
Imagine being China. You wanna destroy a US satellite (these things are responsible for the economy, military, communication etc) while making it seem like an 'accident'. Blast your autist lasers at some space junk orbiting near US satellites and BOOM, COLLATERAL. More countries are worried about this, so are developing and sending into more dual-use military equipment into space. Not long until a space arms race peeps
