“It isn’t a fence. It’s a $6 billion radar system that will monitor a tiny fraction of the space junk. One piece of junk, no larger than your thumb, can produce the Kessler effect. At 17,000 miles an hour, the little cannon ball has tremendous force. But the ‘Space Fence’ cannot monitor this size cannon ball. There is no known solution to this problem. There is no program to solve it. The ‘Space Fence’ merely lets some Air Force enlisted person, who is staring at a screen, watch the chain reaction blow holes in the world’s space-based telecommunications system, impact by impact. Then why build it? To subsidize the aerospace industry, you big silly.”
