Original: SpaceX Changed Earth’s Orbit Forever | Low Earth Orbit, 10,000+ Starlink Satellites & Space Race
SpaceX's Starlink constellation, now exceeding 10,000 satellites in low Earth orbit, is at the centre of a debate over whether mega-constellations are altering the space environment around Earth. Critics point to congestion and debris risks, while the company continues launching at a record pace as part of a wider space race. Commentators argue the sheer scale of these launches may have lasting effects on how low Earth orbit is used and regulated.
