Ok, but we already have all those satellites up there now. Please fucking tell me those are not going to become space trash, because I will fully blame the government on that one.
They're not high enough to become space debris
Any altitude of orbit can become space debris. They just won't stay space debris for nearly as long as geosynchronous or high orbit.
