Satellites that are no longer in service must get out of the sky far more quickly under a new rule adopted by US federal regulators Thursday — and it’s all in the name of combating the garbage in Earth’s orbit

Unused satellites in low-Earth orbit, which is the area already most congested with satellites, must be dragged out of orbit “as soon as practicable, and no more than five years following the end of their mission,” according to the new Federal Communications Commission rule.

The FCC plan had been questioned by some US lawmakers who have said the rules could create “conflicting guidance” and without clear congressional authority. But Thursday’s vote moved forward nonetheless. “At risk is more than the $279 billion-a-year satellite and launch industries and the jobs that depend on them,” according to an FCC document released earlier this month.

Having sabotaged the Russian undersea pipelines, the US now planning to disrupt the Russian satellites in the sky? The Americans are really dying to start a WW3.

Twenty five years was ridiculous. Five years is also ridiculous. What is wrong with 24 hours?

Europe says thank you to USA for leaving us freezing in winter! That’s what friends are for ☹️🤥

Before you get out of my orbit, make sure intl. ID fraud mess gets cleaned up, my name gets cleared. Demon & frauds, Dutch & US governments pay me damages for gross violation of privacy and human rights, slandering in media etc. Demon disappearing is a cover up, not solution.

Am totally speechless 😶😶😶😶😶

So we're like little children that won't help clean up the dishes after dinner right we just fire a bunch of stuff up there and let it float around and hit each other are we Savages or are we human beings I want that s*** cleaned up I'll give you guys 5 years

Humans are garbage.

Space isn't big enough for them all. its getting cramped.

Now if we can combat the garbage in the federal government.

I’m usually not a tin foil hat wearer, but there has been a lot of talk about space-related things lately. First, UFOs are a real thing; then they’re shooting rockets to nudge asteroids out of orbit, and now this. What’s really going on? I don’t buy this “combating garbage” line.

A little late for this and US federal regulations only apply to US satellites.
