... Will Launch 20,000 Satellites!!! [read SEVENEVES]
SEVENEVES: A fantastic book. Bill Gates' favorite SciFi because it is all grounded in true engineering more or less. All based on expanding the space station to thousands of inhabitants to escape the natural calamity on Earth.

Has anyone written a science fiction story about a planet so surrounded by satellites and other orbital trash that it could not be reached from outer space? K5HV
There are four resent books I have read that involving technology and satellites Good and quick reads.
Shadow Tyrants - Clive Cussler - satellites launched - The Oregon Files Matt Richtel - Dead On Arrival - satellites launched Dan Brown - Origin - mostly technology and religionInfinity Beckoned - Jay Gallentine - non-fiction - Adventuring through the Inter Solar System 1969 - 1989 There was a TV show/movie that depicted moving a existing satellite into another and causing a chain reaction but the title slips my mind. I was very resent.

That would be great! If the aliens can't get here I could finally retire my tin foil hat!
