New potential trigger: Kosmos 1408 debris

Following the recent Russian ASAT test, is it worth adding a paragraph under the "potential triggers" section discussing the debris from Kosmos 1408 and the risk of it triggering Kessler Syndrome? 77.95.179.227 (talk) 14:45, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

What would you like to see added specifically, and what sources do you have for support? - wolf 21:21, 18 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Something along the lines of "The recent destruction of the Kosmos 1408 satellite by a Russian ASAT missile has created a large debris cloud, with 1500 pieces of debris being tracked and an estimated hundreds of thousands of pieces too small to track. Since the satellite was in a polar orbit, and its debris has spread out between the altitudes of 300km and 1000km, it could potentially collide with any LEO satellite, including the ISS and Chinese Space Station." Just as a summary, and link it to the Kosmos 1408 page for more details. As for sources, can just use the ones from the Kosmos 1408 page, such as this one, this one, or this one. 77.95.179.227 (talk) 15:58, 19 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't make sense

In this article, the phrase "such accidentally too-lucky shots" doesn't make sense. Too lucky for what? What is the context? Without further explanation, the sentence makes no sense. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 05:24, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is a quote. If you read the attached reference, where this quote is from, it will give you more context. - wolf 05:40, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

That's not how writing is done. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 05:57, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if you feel there is a problem, feel free to WP:FIXIT. If you have a change to suggest, then post it, but do so so in "please change x to y" format and an editor will review your request. Otherwise, article talk pages aren't a forum. - wolf 21:53, 30 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Replace stuffin.space reference with something that's not dead
