    There may have been an anti-satellite weapons test over the weekend by Russia that caused this. The US, China, and Russia are all capable of destroying orbiting satellites, but the effects of doing so are detrimental to all orbital tech/activity and difficult to predict ahead of time.

    Kessler syndrome is a real possibility should these shoot-downs become a regular occurrence.

    I've felt the Kessler effect before. It seems good at first, but it can really end badly.

    I just stick to potato vodka diluted with water chased by gatorade. Drink milk and eat eggs beforehand, take vitamins and drink plenty of water. Bananas are a must.
