Does a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome make for a good #solarpunk story / world?
"The Space is not for us, not for the next 500 years, we must focus on fixing what we have here". A "natural" end of cultural expansionism, a powerful symbol.
Or something way too negative? What's your take?
@alxd Personally, TBH, I think something that *imposes* an end to the expansionist mindset simply by cutting off the possibility of outward travel that way sort of cheapens it.
Though, I do think you could do a fascinating thing with a post-Kessler world where rather than just ending, the mindset around space travel shifts. People realizing the space around is not just a void, it's a valuable part of our environment that we've been trashing. What does solarpunk LEO look like?
