It looks like something that came out of the 70s. Only the names differ.
No Starships back then, but the Space Shuttle was in development and was thought to be revolutionary. There wasn't a Starlab, but there was a Skylab, which is very similar in principle. It was the third stage of a Saturn V rocket just like Starlab is planned to be the second stage of a Starship rocket. I don't know about the space debris, but the term "Kessler syndrome" appeared in 1978, so that's a thing they thought about seriously back then.
And of course, after Apollo, everyone attention was focused on Mars, and moon bases were a staple of "near future" science fiction. 2001: A Space Odyssey is from 1968 for instance.
