IIRC, there was a story/series of stories/resulting novel about this
sort of thing marching off in a direction no Earth government had in
mind.

Maybe we'll get lucky, who can say?

...as is the Kessler Syndrome.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

"The Kessler syndrome, also known as the Kessler effect,[1][2]
collisional cascading, or ablation cascade, is a scenario proposed by
NASA scientists Donald J. Kessler and Burton G. Cour-Palais in 1978. It describes a situation in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit
(LEO) becomes so high due to space pollution that collisions between
these objects cascade, exponentially increasing the amount of space
debris over time.[3] This proliferation of debris poses significant
risks to satellites, space missions, and the International Space
Station, potentially rendering certain orbital regions unusable and threatening the sustainability of space activities for many
generations.[3] In 2009, Kessler wrote that modeling results indicated
the debris environment had already become unstable, meaning that efforts
to achieve a growth-free small debris environment by eliminating past
debris sources would likely fail because fragments from future
collisions would accumulate faster than atmospheric drag could remove
them.[4] The Kessler syndrome underscores the critical need for
effective space traffic management and collision avoidance strategies to ensure the long-term viability of space exploration and utilization."

Odd that the only other news outlet to carry this story was The Economist
and it's been almost a month.

But it's more fun to just let it all go to pot and then look for
someone (someone /else/ to be sure) to blame.

Planetes is a anime and a manga which involves the people who
collect space debris in their own collection vehicles in orbit. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes>

I enjoyed the anime very much a few years back.
