what a laughable sentence, there have been at least 2 near misses last year between starlink satellites and Tiangong. Also, if there's a collision, the smaller parts and debris would remain in orbit far longer than expected (hence causing more incidents).

It is not laughable, Starlink satellites are in a low enough orbit that they will automatically deorbit due to air drag. They will not contribute to Kessler Syndrome.

>SpaceX said that a large part of Starlink satellites are launched at a lower altitude of 550 km (340 mi) to achieve lower latency (versus 1,150 km (710 mi) as originally planned), and failed satellites or debris are thus expected to deorbit within five years even without propulsion, due to atmospheric drag.
