Starlink avoiding debris and other obstacles in space regularly

Hi All

It appears the Starlink satellites are having to take regular avoidance measures to ensure longevity of the service, due to the amount of space debris - given the reliance on Satellite communications for radio, TV and other communications data links - it becomes another risk factor in the risk register.

Which brings up another issue, the amount of rockets going up with no regard to carbon tax credits and climate change...

Perhaps this is an opportunity for a space business for debris cleaning as long as they ensure they have identified the owner, and obtained permission to remove it. Or perhaps Satellites needs to utilise Generative AI, with Foundation models to learn how to avoid collisions?
