Space Debris Threatens the ISS.....Time to Clean Up Space!


Recommended Posts

NASA is currently tracking over 23,000 pieces of space debris traveling at 17,500 mph. That's one world class cleanup. Space Agencies world wide need to address the constant trashing of space.

Scientists howl about the state of our oceans, air, and water, and imo, they're right. But we ignore space which is our future.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Clean up your room!

 

"But speaking on Monday, Bridenstine said NASA had identified 400 pieces of orbital debris from the test, with at least 24 of them — each one larger than 10 cm — having gone above the apogee of the ISS, something he described as “a terrible, terrible thing” and which put the safety of the ISS at risk. However, he confirmed that because the test was carried out low enough in Earth orbit, the fragments — and therefore the risk — would dissipate over time."

I thought that this was irresponsible of India and I suppose that the US, Russia and China will all now need to do the same fool stunt. When a piece of debris is travelling at almost 5 miles per second, it doesn't have to be big to do a lot of destruction.
