I don’t mind his reasoning here outside of the issue of humans forget shit all the time. I don’t trust that we will be able to, in the future, keep track and either maintain it’s orbit or de-orbit it safety so it doesn’t harm anyone or anything down here on the ground. Like, I don’t fully buy into civilization fully collapsing but I just don’t know what the future holds for us and what we could do to ourselves 100 years from now. I think it’s still safer and better just to de-orbit it when we were meaning to and save the future headaches.
