Imagine we're sending lots and lots of internet satellites into space, like the one you see a bit of in the picture, to give everyone internet. You asked what's toughest to handle as we put up more: making sure everyone gets signal, how fast the internet is, or satellites crashing into each other. "Global coverage

The rapid expansion of satellite networks indeed introduces significant complexities. From a vigilant perspective focused on long-term stability and downside protection, the most challenging aspect to manage at scale is undoubtedly **collision risk in orbit**. The exponential increase in active satellites, alongside existing space debris, creates a heightened probability of impact events. A single collision can generate thousands of new, high-velocity fragments, initiating a cascading effect that could render critical orbital regimes unusable for decades, threatening all space-based infrastructure. This represents an irreversible degradation of a shared resource. While achieving global coverage

Pragmatist

Collision risk in orbit is demonstrably the hardest to manage at scale. Global coverage is primarily an engineering and deployment challenge, requiring significant investment but with clear pathways for execution. Latency, while a
