You only need to destroy a few. Then you have a cloud of debris that will take down the rest or at the very least force them to use all their fuel making evasive manoeuvres.


And they'd get away with it too if it weren't for that pesky orbital mechanics.


Not really. Space is too large.


On the contrary, orbital positions are quite limited. And space debris is already a large issue.


Only in specific situations like the GEO orbit.

Otherwise? Go wild. The space doesn't lack for space.

And with all the LEO megaconstellations? GEO isn't as vital as it once was.


A cosmic game of billiards.
