This sort of headline will only become more frequent

Luckily this was already in a low orbit and these pieces will come down within a year or two. I do still want to see some debris bounties for deorbiting big dead stuff.

This has been a thing for a while. I am sure you have seen something like this already, and there are probably live trackers on the web somewhere: https://clasp.engin.umich.edu/2023/12/06/tracking-undetectable-space-junk/

For once, this isn't a single country issue.
