Kessler syndrome is this idea that if you have one collision in space and suddenly you create this mass of space junk, then everything else that is within that orbit could potentially be impacted by that space junk, and then you make more space junk, and then you make more space junk.
Not only can you not, well, you can track down to the size of about a nickel. Oh, wow. But below that, even something below the size of a nickel can still destroy your satellite, right?

Right. Potentially, if Kessler syndrome really happens and it gets worse and worse, not only does that stop us from launching new things into space out past low Earth orbit, but it even has an effect on whether or not we can observe space as much. There's this...

this um concern about uh having so much stuff flying in space that will no longer have dark skies and you need dark skies in order to uh use research telescopes to look out past earth and so constraining the amount of uh what would the skies look like if they were covered in satellites god i just hope there isn't like a pepsi ad like i think there was actually a thing about that there that somebody was talking about uh

And you have to realize, too, that that is only going to go up as the cost to launch goes down. You know, now there are all of these private launch companies that are doing really interesting things like – I think there's a company called Spin Launch. And I think they launch out of the Mojave Desert.

But you're talking about a much lower cost from a private industry to put whatever you want into space. And as things privatize, they become more self-interested and tend to talk a little bit less with nation-state-based space apparatuses. This is something I – Right, right.

I was writing – this last year I was ghostwriting a book for somebody. And I can't talk about who it was for, but it was a thing about artificial intelligence and education. So sort of looking at the history of what education was, where education came from, and potentially how future technology can kind of help education change.

And one of the things that sort of became abundantly apparent in that research was that there is a period of standardization with technology, be it ideological technology like education or technology like, you know, the printing press, right? There's a period of standardization that allows you to scale, but then there's a period of specialization which sort of brings you to the next level.
