00:00Imagine if one collision in space could trap humanity on Earth forever.

00:07We're closer to this nightmare than you think.

00:12Right now as I speak, there are over 7,000 active satellites

00:18and 140 million pieces of space junk orbiting our planet.

00:24Companies like SpaceX are launching hundreds more every single month.

00:31Scientists call this the Kessler syndrome,

00:35where one collision creates a deadly chain reaction,

00:39turning our orbital highways into permanent junkyards.

00:45The worst part is the laws governing space were written in 1967

00:51before anyone imagined thousands of private satellites.

00:57What we need right now, urgently,

01:00is new laws and cleanup missions

01:03before we lock ourselves out of space forever.

01:07The clock is ticking, my fellows.
