    Yeah, not sure what the chain of reasoning was. But IDK, not sure it’s clickbait exactly? The reason it was shut down was because they were being cautious and ensuring nobody could get hit by space debris. It’s kinda too late to shut it down once the debris has already been generated.

      It’d be a deliberate deorbit. So someone would deliberately decide if debris would go down or not.
      It’s more like reserving a spot in my view.
      If something important enough came up they could just … not.

      I suppose that’s worse since everything was held up to keep options open. Fuck all dem flights I guess.
      To be fair I assume the thing was registered before the outage happened.
