Space junk

in casualpost •  5 years ago 

Another close possible satellite collision.

A collision would create a debris belt that would endanger spacecraft worldwide.
2 satellites will — hopefully — narrowly avoid colliding at 32,800 mph over Pittsburgh on Wednesday

This is harsh. Every collision is contributing to the debris around the earth. Junk is bad, space junk even more. It can and will imprison humanity on earth. I really hope that they miss, bur the odds are bad.
Kurzgesagt published a really good video about that topic:

So keep our space clean, damnit!

One thing about the space junk, if we can not leave the planet, will others be able to visit our planet? or even want to after they see all the orbiting junk. Think about it, how many people take a short cut through the messiest back yard on the street?

Perhaps the Aliens have given up on us until we can get our shit together.

Never thought of that way. This is a really nice touch! :D
