We’ve slung chunks of junk out in space and if we don’t do something about it, we’re sunk. Well, it may not be that bad, but space experts tell us that at least 10,000 four-inch-wide or larger pieces of orbiting debris beyond Earth’s atmosphere pose a threat to spacecraft and satellites. As Jeff Zweerink explains on Creation Update, an accumulation of space objects over several decades has created a zone of dangerous, speeding debris. Jeff cites a New York Times article describing the junk as “dead satellites, spent rocket stages, a camera, a hand tool”, and other assorted leftovers. Great. We’ve known about asteroid belts, but now we’ve got the junk belt to worry about. And this belt cracks a mean whip—try about 16,000 miles per hour.
