Space Crash

I remember being a little girl in school and hearing my science teacher tell me that satellites would never collide because they are never in the same orbit, and that the geniuses that put them in orbit had that situation under control. The odds were 1,000,000 to one. Well, Well, Well earlier this week if you were a gambler you would have struck it rich if you bet on a collision. A U.S. communication satellite collided with a Russian satellite that is no longer in use. The collision happened over Siberia earlier this week. So now the space agency is worried that this will trigger other collisions, because now they have debris floating around up there. With the safety of future space missions in question because they will feel like it will be an issue with space shuttles coming in contact with debris and causing a major collision. WOW with all that happening the U.S. don’t have money to be cleaning up space. They can’t keep down the street from the white house clean…..LOL
