On the clearest of nights I love looking up into the sky to see if I can spot a satellite or space objects making its way across the dark horizon.

在最晴朗的夜晚，我喜歡仰望天空，看看是否能發現一顆衛星或空間物體穿過黑暗的地平線。

But experts are raising the red flag about a growing problem that could change the future of space is we know it.

但是，專家們對一個日益嚴重的問題提出了警告，這個問題可能會改變我們所知道的太空的未來。

The issue space is getting too crowded.

問題空間越來越擁擠。

For decades, researchers have been worried that growing congestion in space could have devastating consequences.

幾十年來，研究人員一直擔心太空中日益嚴重的擁堵會帶來毀滅性的後果。

This theory is known as Kessler syndrome, which says that if space traffic becomes too dense, one single collision between two objects could set off a catastrophic domino effect that would essentially turn the space around Earth into an extraterrestrial wasteland.

這個理論被稱為凱斯勒綜合症，它說，如果太空交通變得太過密集，兩個物體之間的一次碰撞就會引發災難性的多米諾骨牌效應，基本上會把地球周圍的空間變成外星荒地。

By the way, this was the main plot line in that 2013 film Gravity.

對了，這是2013年那部電影《地心引力》的主要情節線。

Robert Beck, the CEO of a launch startup company called Rocket Lab, says that his company is having a very difficult time finding clear paths for rockets tow.

一家名為Rocket Lab的發射初創公司的CEO羅伯特-貝克（Robert Beck）表示，他的公司很難為火箭牽引找到清晰的路徑。

Launch new satellites due to the sheer number of objects in space right now, especially considering Space X is rapidly growing.

由於現在太空中的物體數量太多，發射新的衛星，特別是考慮到Space X正在迅速增長。

StarLink Constellation Space X has said that they are determined to being responsible stewards of outer space and the company has equipped it's starling satellites with the ability to automatically get out of the way just in case there are oncoming objects.

星際鏈接星座Space X表示，他們決心做一個負責任的外太空管家，該公司已經為其星際衛星配備了自動避讓的能力，以防有物體來襲。

And once operational, the space X system could make Internet access available to the billions of people around the world who don't have it.

而太空X系統一旦投入使用，就可以讓全世界數十億沒有互聯網的人也能上網。

As exciting as that prospect sounds, the odds of avoiding disaster Onley become slimmer with each new satellite launch, according to one expert who says that he's optimistic that we can avoid Kessler syndrome so long as these companies agreed to abide by certain rules and norms of behavior.

雖然這種前景聽起來很激動人心，但隨著每一次新衛星的發射，避免災難昂利的機率變得越來越小，一位專家表示，只要這些公司同意遵守某些規則和行為規範，他樂觀地認為我們可以避免凱斯勒綜合症。
