I’ve just heard nothing but they want two picks plus a young player for Walker Kessler. So the Lakers cannot do that trade.

The Kessler syndrome describes a scenario where the density of objects in low Earth orbit becomes so high that collisions between them generate additional debris. This debris can, in turn, cause ...

Ever wondered what happens to the bits of waste that end up in space? For instance, what happens to the metal that flies off ...

Satellite safety around Earth under threat as Kessler Syndrome looms large Every launch into Earth’s orbit now adds to a dangerous congestion of junk, making space less navigable by the year.

Over 50,000 large space debris pieces now orbit Earth as Kessler Syndrome edges closer to reality Every launch into Earth’s orbit now adds to a dangerous congestion of junk, making space less ...

Too much trash in space: concerns about Kessler Syndrome rise as over 1,200 objects fell to Earth in 2024 The orbit of the Earth is filling with more and more space junk, threatening operational ...

Kessler Syndrome predicts that when the density of objects in Low Earth Orbit -- roughly 100-1,200 miles above our planet reaches a certain critical level, it could lead to a chain reaction of ...

Implications for Kessler Syndrome Reduced Risk at Lower Orbits: The Kessler syndrome—a cascade of collisions creating persistent space debris—is mitigated at lower altitudes because satellites and ...

"It is an axiom of business, and pretty much any organization, that the management sets the tone, writes columnist Stephen Kessler. "When you enter a restaurant, the demeanor and efficiency of the ...

The scenario in which space debris collides and creates more debris is called Kessler Syndrome, named after the NASA scientist Donald Kessler, who alerted us to this problem in 1978.
