Space Garbage

On January 11th. China sent a missile out in space where it smashed an old weather satellite 520 miles above the surface of the earth.

Donald Kessler used to work for NASA, and it was him who gave name to the Kessler-syndrome – the conception that one day there will be so much scrap metal in space that it will be impossible to send up vessels and satellites.
He says to the newspaper that the Chinese missile test only has precipitated the inevitable.
