Running Out of Space....in Space?

| , , , , ,

We've been told for years about all the space junk floating around our beautiful blue ball we call Planet Earth. It surprises me that it has only now come to a point where things bigger than screws and paint chips are hitting each other - making many more smaller pieces of junk that whizz by at thousands of miles per hour. Maybe the next generation of Space Shuttle can drag a fine mesh nano-titanium net to catch all the debris. Or even better some private 'space cowboy' builds his own ship and makes a fortune recycling old satellites....anyone want to help me build a rocket?
