NASA has calculated that we've produced enough trash to actually cause a distraction in space. What an accomplishment.
I mean really, "space is a very big place" (ahem . . . understatement of the year!) and it's quite an achievement. There's so much now, that we have to map it so we don't run into our own junk!
I realize that space debris is a necessary thing, but since we don't know the consequences of it yet, I can't be one to support dumping our waste into space.
Space dumping is a little ridiculous when you think about it. Maybe we should think about turning a planet into a colossal landfill. Oh wait, we already have . . .

P.S. Sorry about not posting in a while - I've been crazy busy!
OH! THAT would be really interesting. We should use Venus or Mercury as our dump! lol
ReplyDeleteYes, that is what I was thinking! Venus, Mercury, Uranus . . . but not Pluto. Everybody's been down on poor Pluto lately.
ReplyDeletei always kinda wondered how many satellites were out there and how they made sure they didnt collide and what nots. neato. And nice title, although, it borders on PG-13.
