    I thought a collision like this would have been predicted and avoided. Are
    only big or manned objects protected this way?
    
    Also, Isn't there a chance that a big enough collision or a certain number
    of collisions could cause a "cascading" effect like a critical mass in the
    bomb world.. among LEO objects?
