"SpaceX Starlink Satellites: 25,000 Near-Misses in 6 Months"

TL;DR
SpaceX's Starlink satellites have had to make over 25,000 collision-avoidance maneuvers in the past six months, double the number from the previous six-month period. Concerns are growing over the long-term sustainability of satellite operations as the number of satellites in orbit continues to increase. Experts warn that the exponential growth in maneuvers could lead to a significant risk of collisions and the accumulation of space debris, potentially rendering parts of the orbital environment unusable.
