Among the 18,000-plus objects being tracked in space by the U.S. Strategic Command are operational and defunct satellites, spent rocket boosters and debris that is 3.9 inches in diameter or larger.


While these collisions may be rare, the more stuff we send up there, the more likely there will be collisions...resulting in more junk...
