Reminds me of the novel The Cassini Division by Ken McLeod where space launches are no longer possible after a runaway ablation effect turned Earth’s near orbit into a lethal debris field.
The Kessler effect is the basis of quite a few cool stories. I wish this all stayed science fiction, but apparently no, we really want to go through it.
