(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Scientists in the US have warned Nasa that the amount of so-called space junk orbiting Earth is at tipping point.
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

Ill keep this in mind next time I go to space. :fyea:

We must be the white trash of the universe. With all of our shit on the front lawn.

looks pretty cool to me...

It doesn't actually look like that, the earth is so big you can't even see anything. It is FAR from being on the "tipping point." Just think of how many humans and animals and building are on the earth, overpopulation is a much larger problem than space junk.

Wait, Did I just find someone with common sense on NGU?

I guess there is hope for this forum.

I'm the Jesus of NGU.

Lmfao you sir have just made my day

This is sad, first we couldn't keep our own earth clean and now we're polluting up our orbit.
