Space Is Crammed with Junk
In the vast expanse of space, a quiet but ominous threat looms overhead – the proliferation of space debris. A stark reminder of this danger came on February 10th, 2009, when a Russian military satellite collided with an American communication satellite above Siberia. Hurtling through space at speeds exceeding 36,000 kilometers per hour, the impact shattered both satellites into thousands of fragments, transforming the once pristine orbital environment into a chaotic field of debris. This event, the largest satellite collision in history, served as a poignant warning of the escalating crisis of space clutter.
