And while we’re at it let’s just push even more shit above the earth because there’s totally not already a whole bunch of stuff up there.
Well, technically there really isn't much up there now.
I mean in low earth orbit it's what, 99.999999999999999999999 % empty space? With the tiny fraction left being satellites.
By that logic you wouldn't mind if I loosed a bag of mosquitos in your house, would you?
I love this comment so much and I love “loosed” as a past tense verb even more.
