With all of the "testing" that goes on up in space, does anyone know
where all of this debris goes.I remember a year or two ago when about
200 tons of skylab steel came crashing through the atmosphere.I suppose
most of this garbage will float off into space, but if enough of this
stuff can start an orbit around the earth, who knows maybe we'll have
rings like saturn.In any case I hope they start pooling their money
to start going OUT of our solar system, and not blowing things up
right over our heads (I'm wearing my football helmet tomorow to see
if I can stir a response).
