Space, the Universe and Dusty Bin

Ok so profanity does not come that easy. I guess I will just talk about my interesting life instead….

Tonight I went to a seminar about space rubbish. Have you heard of it? Well it is all the bits from (mainly) satellites and rockets that have finished their job and just hang around. What is worse is that they travel at 15 kilometres per second – that is dammed quick - about seven time the speed of a bullet! If they hit other object they not only wreck havoc on their target, but potentially they create more rubbish. And the nub of it is: they can do nothing about it. It makes you wonder about the real cost of Sky TV?
