The U.S. quite obsessed with the exponential growth, the federal debt, the number of objects launched into space… Calm down people 😂

So the space pollution was a real thing!

Yeah, already before Musk started to send his satellites into orbit.

I'm assuming this also includes objects launched by private companies from within the countries, so Musk and Bezos are probably a factor (and Branson maybe explains the bump the UK has in recent years).

I would say so, yes.

You should look at the amount of space debris that NASA has to track... it is even more insane and just zooming to the moon lol

Yep. I read a paper about this some time ago, maybe I could still find it; there were some nice charts😆

The US always has to be first in everything.

Is this good or bad?

reply

Could be 0, depending on how you look at it. I have seen no proof of anything being launched into space. Or space for that matter.
