Hey you know what? S_IT happens in space!

Sept 4, The US Space Force (USSF) reported 43 debris objects from the breakup Chinese satellite "Yaogan-50" that launched on March 15, 2026.

Cataloging space debris is one of USSF's core missions.

Yaogan-50 successfully reached its operational orbit but apparently experienced an "anomaly" as they say in space lingo. The fragments are at altitudes between 372 and 683 miles (600 and 1,100 km).

Yaogan-50 is a series of remote-sensing and reconnaissance satellites. Suggestions are these satellites are used for military surveillance and intelligence. China claims they are focused on national land surveys, crop yield estimation, and disaster prevention. https://gizmodo.com/chinese-satellite-breaks-apart-in-rare-orbit-that-could-hold-debris-for-centuries-2000808645

"Idk, I think it's less about empathy or compassion, and more about making sure the (hopefully small) group of uncaring people who enter medicine or allied health professions are incentivised to act pro-socially.
Like, in your region, what studying conditions and working conditions are clinicians expected to tolerate? Do they receive a living wage throughout study and work? Is their livelihood for a single person or big enough they can build a household?

Do they feel comfortable being a whistleblower when something goes wrong? (Numbers-wise, mistakes will happen over time.)
How robust is the inspection or regulation? How flexible are the logistics of each sector?
How many crises at once can be weathered without change to patient care? How long will it take to build back up that 'extra' capacity / contingency margin?

Who (in what position, in which teams) is responsible (or in what order) for noticing angels of death? What about anyone with less final but still harmful motives?

How severe are the consequences for failure? How many people feel compelled to hide errors rather than remedy them? What options for remediation are accessible to all staff, including contractors?"

If you’re interested in #microplastics in the #GreatLakes, do we have an #iaglr23 session for you! This session is the launch of a new #IJC project. We hope to capitalize on all the #plasticpollution #research happening in the basin to develop a #riskassessment and #monitoring framework. We’re soliciting abstracts now until *January 27*!
Don’t worry, I’ll remind you in January 😁
