  1. A Kessler Syndrome kinda disaster would be very very bad, but we'd probably recover... Satellite communications is important for a whole ton of things, but we could likely replace it overtime... it's not like the entire communications infrastructure is solely dependant on it. Amazingly enough, Internet is still mostly done via fiber optics transatlantic cables, so some level of communication would still be there. GPS is a far more complex problem, along with stuff like accurate timing and whatnot that comes with it. Society is highly dependant on that in several levels, and we don't really have immediate replacements for those that work with similar precision. Of course, the biggest bummer in all of that is that we'd be a very very long time or potentially forever enclosed in the planet... end of space race, end of humanity hopes for spreading outside the planet, at least until some technology arised to clean up the mess. At least perhaps we'd take better care of our planet. Or not, die trapped inside. Solar flare/solar storm hitting Earth, Carrington event level or more, that would really f*ck us up royally... because that would not only kill satellites, it'd potentially burn up most of electronics, take down power grids, and depending on how exactly it happened, it'd stay that way for a while plus have several other side effects. And it almost happened back in 2012 too... :P We missed it by 9 days. Preppers would have a good ol' time though. xD
