My only thought is... if they knew it would happen eventually, then why not take steps to keep it from happening. Maybe that's just a "layman's" thought... & would need more thought into it.
Well... don't loose any sleep over this. Nothing to worry about... At least not as far as we know!
so many weird things have been happening including another earthquake.
ReplyDeleteWow, that means they have lost some or a lot of their communications.
ReplyDeletecan you imagine how many of these thing may collide without us knowing it?
ReplyDeleteLitter in orbit has increased in recent years, in part because of the deliberate breakups of old satellites. It's gotten so bad that orbital debris is now the biggest threat to a space shuttle in flight, surpassing the dangers of liftoff and return to Earth. NASA is in regular touch with the Space Surveillance Network, to keep the space station a safe distance from any encroaching objects, and shuttles, too, when they're flying.
ReplyDeletethat is just scary.. when you think of it reminds me of wall-e
To answer your question on why?? Because it is the GOVERNMENT!

ReplyDeleteDid you ever see the Futurama episode with the huge ball of garbage? This kinda reminds me of that... maybe in a couple of decades there'll be so much stuff up there it'll block out the sun or summat!
Oh well ... that's two less satellites to worry about! It's the bit about one being out of control that's very worrying. Losing control of something that could plummet to earth is scary.
ReplyDeleteSo much for global positioning!
