Obviously, but how long does that take, and is that long enough that collisions are negligibly probable?

It's possible that the problem will take care of itself, but the information provided is not adequate to model the problem and prove that the problem will take care of itself.

It's a Bloomberg article, not an intro to astrodynamics. If you know the orbit you can figure out when it will decay relatively accurately.

I'm not asking the Bloomberg article, I'm asking the person who works for the company who responded upthread.
