Nyrath Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Re: Crunch! Where's the Planetes crew when you need them? Perhaps it begins like this. Indeed. The manga and anime of Planetes postulate a "Space Debris Section" whose job is to collect orbital debris and otherwise prevent the Kessler Syndrome. In the manga chapter "A Modest Request" / anime episode "A Cigarette Under Starlight", an ecological terrorist group is attempting to trigger the Kessler Syndrome, in order to cut off access to space for decades. The terrorist are of the opinion that money used for man's expansion into space would be better spent on problems here on Earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
