    I actually just started the series because of the these clips. Did the Swiss actually make his job harder in any way or was the point just to say “screw your and your chocolate” to one of the only advanced nations that I’m pretty sure has never dropped bombs on anybody ever?

    ​@thomasconnors4338 it is probably Sorkin inserting his own warped view of the world as he does in all his shows and movies. Almost 99% of his writing is great and then there is the 1% where he needs to preach his ideals even though he claims to be centrist

    You noticed this channel popped out of the blue, with incredibly quality clips and edits, and an apparent soundtrack clip outro claiming to be THE official West Wing channel? It’s a week old channel at best. Spitting out a great deal of content. While it can be JUST a YT channel to supplement Max and it’s West Wing content….. Could HBO be drumming up interest after so long for a reboot or a sequel?

    @@untexan I'm not sure about "most of", but more and more of them. And for a long time the big ones have been controlled. They aim for Point Nemo, a spot in the South Pacific that's the farthest point from land on the planet and isn't a route for any shipping. The FAA just enacted a new regulation that no launch license for a satellite will be granted unless the operator shows how a controlled reentry will be made. The Chinese are putting up more and more satellites lately and aren't especially careful about them.

    Divide up the surface area of the Earth, including water, by current population and you've got 677,000 square feet per person (nearly 12 football fields). Sparse odds for a collision even if we were evenly distributed over the planet ... which we extremely aren't.

    So to easily explain to new viewers, satellites decommission all the time and they free fall to the earth's atmosphere. If you know anything about space, the amount of said power of falling through the atmosphere is so much force that it would break apart of the delicate materials to make the satellite. And guess what? There's no guidance system whatsoever for those satellites, so Satellite will stray over to orbit and most likely land in an ocean at most. VERY EXTREMELY RARELY, does it ever crash to anyone and when it does, the amount of debris that has been taken apart has been already so astronomically, it's literally impossible to cause another iceage or damage to the planet. But it's sure fun to worry huh? Don't be a Donna.
