raisedbypoodlesORBITAL HOUSE OF CARDS: Earth’s orbital environment has become dangerously fragile. A new study led by Sarah Thiele of Princeton University warns that if satellite collision-avoidance systems were knocked offline by a major solar storm, a catastrophic collision in low-Earth orbit could occur in as little as 2.8 days.
Researchers call this ticking countdown the
CRASH Clock (short for Collision Realization And Significant Harm). It measures how long it would take, on average, for a debris-producing collision to occur if satellites suddenly lost situational awareness and stopped maneuvering.
In 2018, before today’s megaconstellations filled the skies, the CRASH Clock stood at 121 days. Today, it’s less than three.
Orbital traffic is now at unprecedented levels, especially in dense shells of Starlink spacecraft near 550 km altitude. The study shows that close encounters between space objects happen every 20 seconds across low-Earth orbit. According to SpaceX’s most recent biannual report, Starlink satellites alone executed 144,404 collision-avoidance maneuvers between Dec. 1, 2024, and May 31, 2025.
At the best of times, avoiding collisions requires constant, precise maneuvering. But what would happen if satellite operators no longer knew exactly where their spacecraft were?
That scenario is not hypothetical. During the geomagnetic superstorm of May 10-11, 2024, more than 5,000 satellites made emergency maneuvers to maintain their orbits
(full story). Most were Starlinks. Position uncertainties grew to kilometers--exactly the kind of disruption envisioned by the CRASH Clock. Fortunately, the storm subsided before a major collision occurred.
Satellite operators have long feared a doomsday scenario called the
Kessler Syndrome --a runaway cascade of satellite destruction triggered by a single debris-producing impact. This paper argues we may not be in a Kessler cascade yet, but we are operating in conditions where one bad solar storm or software failure could start the CRASH Clock ticking.
Enjoy your Starlink--while you can.

MAXIMUS PANDAMONIUSBaba Vanga's purported predictions for 2026 focus on dramatic global upheavals, though these stem from unverified interpretations rather than documented statements from the mystic herself. Common claims include massive natural disasters like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions affecting 7-8% of Earth's landmass, alongside escalating conflicts potentially leading to World War III involving powers like Russia, the US, and China over Taiwan.

Absolutely possible, Jimmy. The BEE BEE playbook in force.
