Original: New Space Race: Why Orbital Sustainability Is A Strategic Imperative
As more countries and private companies launch satellites at record pace, attention is turning to the growing problem of orbital debris and congestion in Earth's orbit.

Why now: Rising satellite launches and debris concerns have made the sustainability of Earth's orbits a pressing policy debate.
