#starlink satellites are really low, I'm guessing the Kessler effect doesn't apply

In fact starlink satellites by design are constantly falling out of the sky burning up and constantly replaced

Kessler is more for the satellites up high where if they broke up the debris remain forever

#Brazil can't laser them or shoot them because there's 6,500 of them, it would have to shut down/ degrade the whole network by taking out enough. Maybe they should!
