Nuclear bomb pumped lasers are coming to space !

...as is the Kessler Syndrome.

"The Kessler syndrome, also known as the Kessler effect,[1][2]
collisional cascading, or ablation cascade, is a scenario proposed by
NASA scientists Donald J. Kessler and Burton G. Cour-Palais in 1978. It describes a situation in which the density of objects in low Earth orbit (LEO) becomes so high due to space pollution that collisions between
these objects cascade, exponentially increasing the amount of space
debris over time.[3] This proliferation of debris poses significant
risks to satellites, space missions, and the International Space
Station, potentially rendering certain orbital regions unusable and threatening the sustainability of space activities for many generations.
[3] In 2009, Kessler wrote that modeling results indicated the debris environment had already become unstable, meaning that efforts to achieve
a growth-free small debris environment by eliminating past debris
sources would likely fail because fragments from future collisions would accumulate faster than atmospheric drag could remove them.[4] The
Kessler syndrome underscores the critical need for effective space
traffic management and collision avoidance strategies to ensure the
long-term viability of space exploration and utilization."

Planetes is a anime and a manga which involves the people who
collect space debris in their own collection vehicles in orbit. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetes>

I enjoyed the anime very much a few years back.
