> it could become risky enough that the cost mitigation becomes untenable What cost mitigation are you referring to? > thick armor plating It makes about as much sense to armor a satellite as it does a plane. (Much less, actually, given the fuel costs are higher, energies in orbit are higher and densities orders of magnitude lower--to approximate the global density of airplanes in LEO, we'd need something like 4mm satellites up there. To approximate the density of controlled airspaces in LEO, we need about 10x that.) > violence shenanigans outside my front door Where the closest object to your front door is 10+ miles away. |
