We're Mapping our Junk now?

Good job guys!  We've finally done it !


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!

  2. Yes, that is what I was thinking! Venus, Mercury, Uranus . . . but not Pluto. Everybody's been down on poor Pluto lately.
