This article was very interesting and it really got me thinking. What are the new space vehicles like? Why are they better than the space ships we had been using previously? Is there a way we can build satellites so that they can pick up debris as they orbit the earth? It doesn't seem too hard, but it must be because scientists haven't come up with anything yet. Here's another point. Since satellites have to go a minimum of 200 miles to avoid atmospheric interference, they would be orbiting alongside the debris, so why would it hurt the satellites? Would it be because of the 200 miles they travel going parallel to the debris, or does that not make much of a difference? Is it because satellites are too big to move at the same rate? Would satellites be programed to go slowly so they can take photographs? In my opinion, this dilemma must be solved for the many scientific studies to make many new discoveries for the education of the world. I also think that all we need to do is sit down and think a moment, and the solution will decipher itself.
I never knew that space debris can cause so much damage! Some spacecraft, like the international space station, are now armered to mitigate damage with this hazard.
Did you know that a satalite named Vanguard 1, luanched in 1958, is one of the longest surviving pieces of space junk? As of March, 2008, it is the oldest piece in orbit!
That is amazing that all the space junk together would weigh more than three thousand cars!Have they considered that a piece of space junk could destroy a large portion of a city if propelled towards Earth?
I think that it's frightening that space junk can orbit at such high speeds. I think it's hard for the scientists to track the junk but it is very important to track and get rid of the junk. A way to reduce the junk is to build stronger satellites that will not break down.
I didn't read the whole article, but I got the idea from the first half. THIS WAS WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO LONG!!! although it had good details. It's really interesting how a speck of paint can practically shatter a window in a spaceship. How cool, yet boring. even though they have to predict what's going to crash into what satellite. overall, this was an okay article.
