I think it's vitally important to recognise that #satellites have helped us to understand the Earth and how humans have changed it. Satellites also help to feed us, to send aid where it is needed, and to give us an incredibly valuable understanding of global affairs...
...There are many other things that satellites help us with. So when people suggest that tackling #spacedebris is not as important as tackling #climatechange (or other human or environmental challenge), my reply is always that tackling space debris *IS* tackling climate change
The satellites are our eyes on the world, our senses. They provide us with an awareness of our planet on a global scale, from pole to pole, East to West. We simply cannot gain that awareness in any other way.
