So true.

A pity current US policy is sabotage any kind of international law or regulation.

For generations, we have been looking to the sky and dreaming with the stars. Soon the only thing we will be able to see in the night sky will be garbage.

Meanwhile, China recently filed a flurry of applications at the ITU for LEO constellations totaling nearly 200,000 satellites.

The largest of these constellations, CTC-1 and CTC-2, will support 96,714 satellites each.

China is already constructing its national Guowang and Shanghai-backed Qianfan constellations, each with 10,000+ satellites.

Space colonization and grabbing of orbital and spectrum resources is real.
