There are 22,000 pieces of debris large enough to track from the ground, but smaller objects could still cause serious damage to space ships, satellites and space stations.
The International Space Station must occasionally dodge some of the junk, which flies around the Earth at speeds of up to 17,500 mph (28,164 km/h). <--- LIKE A BAWSSSS

I guess there is hope for this forum.


Seriously, but don't forget, for every person that comes out of the closet and proves they are smart, 10 more appear that can barely open a door.
