Comment on Where can I buy a mosquito laser system?

Yeah, they do. 8700 objects tracked that are 10cm or larger at the time of writing the paper. Shitloads of other debris that wasn’t regularly tracked, but could be, at 1cm or similar sizes. Source

That’s 10 times bigger than what you said originally.

  I mean we track the moon, and it can be measured in cm, right? /s

  I said “centimeter sized”, mr Pedant, which is 1cm. Which is possible to track, just not done. The point is if they can track that, they can track a mosquito in the same room. But by all means, keep arguing semantics.

    Astronomers track centimeter-sized objects up in space
    
    No they don’t

    I rest my case. Precision is important in astronomy.

    Bruh, you want to be precise, read the fucking source. 1cm objects are tracked. Just not “routinely”. Stop being an annoying redditor. We are talking about capabilities and we are capable of doing that.
    
    So take your rested case and stick it.
