SpaceX CEO Elon Musk has revealed that SpaceX had to shift some Starlink satellite orbits "to reduce probability of collision" with space debris. He was responding to a user who questioned him on space debris after NASA delayed ISS spacewalk citing debris risks. "Station & Dragon have micrometeorite shields...but EVA suits do not, hence higher risk for spacewalk," Musk added.
