How much junk is in space?Why should I worried about space junk?
There´s too much. It is extremely difficult to
calculate or observe how much there actually is, but the latest numbers have
found more than 20,000 objects larger than ten centimetres being tracked, and an estimated 500,000
objects larger than one centimetre , not to mention over 100 million objects
smaller than one centimetre
I should worried because for example, a satellite called Uars had reached the end of its
useful life and it was left to atmospheric drag to bring it crashing back down
to Earth. While UARS can't really be classed as space junk now, there are still
over a million pieces of manmade debris still up in orbit.
