I'm surprised there's no mention of Kessler Syndrome[1]. Launching, possibly multiple, high volume satellite networks is worrisome to me. Is the increase in number of satellites negated by the reduced launch debris from using reusable rockets?

Is there an implication that an increase in global cargo capacity also increases our ability to "launch" debris reduction/removal efforts?
