We are grateful to H.G.Lewis at the University of Southampton for providing a dataset of orbital elements of simulated debris from the recent C1408 ASAT event, as well as for general discussions on the topic of space environmentalism. Many further colleagues have contributed indirectly to this article - through comments on the open document during August 2021 in preparation for the Amicus Brief, and in general discussions at astronomical meetings during 2020 and 2021 at which the issue of the impact of constellations was discussed.
