And no matter what, there's very little we can do about them ... or even our own orbiting space junkyard above.

There are a bunch of plans to clean up the space junk. Lasers, grabber satellites. Hopefully it's just a matter of time.

Here's a link to the Orbital Debris Newsletter

Cool ... thanks for the link! I'll believe some of it when I see it ... so much is great plans and no follow through. They never seem to have the money for things that are really important. One blast from the sun ... which did, can, and will happen in the future without warning, and we go back to medieval times. They know it ... they pay lip service to it ... but never fund simple solutions. The money's not there ... really sad when you think of it.
