Space Traffic Concern

It seems with all the stations, satalites and doomcruisers prowling around in orbit, not only is it getting crowded and dangerous up there, it is also a navagational hazard and it looks kinda weird from below.

This why Fuggolia preposes a limit to what is in orbit, and for the majority of rearch stations in orbit be towed to the moons orbit.

Live with it, moving the problem won't solve anything. If you move it, I'm sure the lunar colonists would complain. Besides, the entire solar system is riddled with missles, space ships, stations and sattelites. You still wouldnt be able to see anything...

Actually, it's not as much of a concern as you think. The general agreement is that NS earth is the size of RL Jupiter (this isn't an exact size, merely a general estimate). Therefor, there is much more space for all the satellites, research labs, and doomcruisers.

I don't think it shall be a problem for many more years.

Dont'cha just love those doomcruisers? :D

Anyway, I propose that we construct a giant plastic bag, to wrap around the planet, then pole holes in it and shine flashlights through to simulate stars.

Evil Overlord Enterprises has positioned 6 Molnya satellites in equidistant geosynchronous orbits to monitor the conditions in cislunar space. All data from these satellites is available to any space-faring nations for the nominal price of 1 EOE Cr per request.

Coverage of Earth Orbit is encyclopedic, while the more distant reaches of cislunar space are only lightly covered. This data does not identify the manufacturer, purpose, or origin of any objects detected, but provides detailed information about the object's orbit and predicted effects on orbital insertions from any direction.

Contact your nearest EOE representative for details.
