🚨 We have under 3 days if disaster strikes until satellites come crashing down.
That's right, we live in a House of Cards.
In low Earth orbit, close approaches between satellites now happen every 22 seconds. For Starlink alone, that number is every 11 minutes. Each satellite performs dozens of collision-avoidance maneuvers per year, dodging not only other satellites, but also fragments of old missions, rocket bodies, and debris.
So what happens if satellite operators lose the ability to steer?
According to new research, we’d have just 2.8 days before a catastrophic collision. That’s how quickly the chain reaction would begin. In 2018 — before satellite megaconstellations exploded in number — that window was 121 days.
The margin for error is collapsing.
One solar storm is all it might take. The 2024 “Gannon Storm” forced over half of all satellites in low Earth orbit to use fuel for emergency maneuvers. That was a mild dress rehearsal compared to the Carrington Event of 1859 — the strongest solar storm on record. If something like that happened today, it could disable satellite communications for days. Without real-time control, thousands of satellites would become blind, deaf, and drifting — in an environment where losing control for just 24 hours now brings a 30% chance of disaster.
This is how you get Kessler syndrome: a runaway cascade of orbital collisions that turns Earth’s orbit into a minefield and makes launching into space nearly impossible.
We're not there yet. But we're closer than we’ve ever been.
The trade-offs are real — satellite constellations expand global internet access, enable science and surveillance, and lower launch costs. But they’ve also made space riskier, faster.
And now, we’re on a tighter clock than most people realize.

@Davehoeffel Thank you so very much for playing Arthur Brown’s. I am the god of hellsfire, I think I have only heard it one other time on the 60s station and I’ve been listening for about the last eight years. I thought this was a fantastic song growing up in the 60’s. TU!

@TNU842 @RyanBartlett Yes I have done all of them. I think it’s just publicity!

I feel like I’m bothering @RyanBartlett by continuing to tweet at him… anyone else on #teachertwitter feel like this when trying to share lists?

@PatrickTheGiver @PaperMate I’ve added my daughter’s teachers list on several sites several years and have never had any one buy anything off it for her classroom! Makes me wonder!!
