Sooner or later some space debris will kill a person

Perhaps many people if a chunk of space debris happens to impact a airliner.

What will be the effects of such a event if its verified space debris has caused the problem?

they say it wouldnt be a problem because the satellite, which will have small parts survive passes over the earths large land masses, but lots of oceans.

eventually a returning satellite or booster debris is going to do some real damage...

It would make the news, for perhaps a week. Then the world move on to
some other subject.

It would be regarded as a freak event, as it would be, and one so rare
that there would be no reasonable basis on which any money could be
spent in an attempt to mitigate the risk.

So essentially I agree with Vaughn. It would be news for a while, but
that's all.

i think it would lead to proper disposal of all old sats and boosters.....

either a controlled deorbit over the ocean or sending it to a far orbit where it cant create problems for hundreds or thousands of years

might also lead to a universal grapple on all new sats and a sat to move disabled or unwanted birds or boosters to a safe area

Thread subject: Sooner or later some space debris will kill a person

Sooner or later, Bob is going to STFU and GTFO.

Perhaps many people will STFU and GTFO.

What will be the effects of such a event if its verified space
debris has caused the problem?

What will happen if it is verified that Bob actually did STFU and GTFO?

I think it would lead to Bob to the decision to STFU and GTFO.

orbit where it cant create problems for hundreds or thousands of years

Either STFU or GTFO.
