The mathematics of orbital mechanics are elegant—Kepler's laws describe perfect ellipses, Newton's equations predict trajectories with clockwork precision. But the reality above our heads resembles less a celestial ballet and more a high-speed demolition derby. Every satellite we launch, every rocket body we abandon, every
