#2The scary bit is that each collision generates a new debris field, which can in turn generate more new collisions, so the safety of orbit starts decreasing geometrically.

#3There's a very good 2003 sci-fi anime called Planetes[1] that explores the problem of space debris in some detail, and how humanity might deal with it in the future. Highly recommended if you're interested in these issues.

I was wondering if someone would mention Planetes. I'd still rank it as one of my favourite anime series, as it's such a plausible near-future sci-fi. Highly recommended.

I wonder how plausible it would be to have IRL space debris haulers, like the anime and how effective they would be at preventing the Kessler Syndrome from occouring.
I find the possibility of space plane destruction due to debris collision too terrifyingly realistic.
On a tangentially related note, I personally would suggest that one read the manga too.

Funny. The first thing I've remembered was Planetes.

Yes, but what are the orbits of the debris and how quickly do they fall into the atmosphere or deep space?
