For almost 60 years, we’ve launched rockets and spacecraft into Earth’s orbit, but now thousands of objects from tiny screws and bolts, to dead satellites encircle the Earth. Transforming the space above us into a junkyard.
It seems kinda comical the idea that someday the, the Earth might actually be surrounded by some ring of space garbage, kind of like a, a less nice version of Saturn. But it’s a real possibility.
Space junk was on a collision course with the International Space Station. Spotted so late there was no time to move out of the way. Instead, the six astronauts got the order from mission control.
