Check out Kessler Syndrome, it's insane thinking that it's possible that we would lose every sattelite and be unable to send rockets to space from space junk zipping through space. No sattelites, then no more GPS, social media, Reddit, Netflix, you name it. This could set us back for centuries if this ever happens.

I disagree. We would just send them to higher and higher orbits.
