    It would be a real shame if some random “debris” knocked it out of orbit. A real shame.

    A sattelite is only as good as your ability to maintain it.

      Knocking things around in orbit is a terrible idea that only adds to the current near crisis we have with space junk. So yes, it would be a real shame if something messed with the orbit of any satellite, one that could cost hundreds of millions in damages or even loss of life.

        Was it China that destroyed a satellite in orbit and everyone got mad because it flung so much shit at other satellites
