Space Junk Crash! When Space Debris Hits 18000 Miles Per Hour!

Space Junk Crash! When Space Debris Hits 18000 Miles Per Hour!
NASA reported that a space station's robotic arm released a cargo pallet containing batteries over the Pacific Ocean while orbiting 260 miles above Earth's surface. This practice is common among space agencies and commercial companies to avoid contributing to Earth's space junk problem. Defunct hardware, such as dead satellites and spent rocket parts, typically burn up in the atmosphere, but some survive the journey and fall into the ocean.
Imagine a universe where space travel is a hazard, and the skies are filled with hurtling debris. With over 100 million pieces of space junk orbiting Earth, the risk of collision is higher than ever. Can we clear the clutter before it's too late, or will our space ambitions be crushed by the weight of our own waste? Join us as we delve into the perilous world of space debris hurtling through our atmosphere at an astonishing 18,000 miles per hour.

When space debris slams into each other at a staggering 18,000 miles per hour, what's your reaction to the collision? 🚀💥

No. If you had 100,000.00 bits of space junk falling down all at once you would only have 1 object per 5,100.00 square kilometer. Earths surface area is about 510 million square kilometers! I feel safe.

OMG Never thought this way you are so smart man! welcome to the channel by the way.
