  1. are there no agreement about cleaning up own trash in space?

  3. The latest breakup of a Russian satellite adds to Earth’s growing space junkyard, a perilous consequence of unchecked orbital debris. Nations like Russia, with aging space infrastructure, share responsibility for this cosmic clutter, risking collisions that threaten operational satellites and space missions. Liability issues loom large, navigating international treaties amid potential damages on Earth. The challenge isn’t just cleaning up; it’s safeguarding vital orbits and preventing cascading debris. As we look to the stars, responsible space stewardship becomes crucial for our future in space—a realm where every collision carries repercussions far beyond mere terrestrial consequences.

  5. russia even didn’t bother to alert its own astronauts on board of the ISS.

  7. I’m guessing the satellite ran into Zelenskyy’s balls.

  8. Headline should be “Another Russian pile of junk broke apart in orbit, leaving Russian trash”

  9. Just wait until you hear about how American satellites are basically causing everyone on earth to get cancer due to them destroying the ozone layer.

  10. So that was the star I thought I observed exploding.

  12. NOT trying to be alarmist/conspiracy minded here, but I have a question:

    Given that Putin has for years talked about developing satellite-killer technology, what are the chances that Russia might use its own deactivated satellites as targets for proof-of-concept target practice?

    Low, I’m guessing, as he’s not really one to miss an opportunity for self congratulation, but non-zero?

  14. Won’t those parts eventually fall back to Earth over time and disintegrate when reentering?

  16. I saw a YouTube video where this expert was claiming that with recent Ukrainians strikes on some tracking facilities in Russia, their space program was all but dead. Apparently Russia doesn’t have facilities all around the world to track and monitor their satellites like the Americans do. (Apparently China doesn’t either). These tracking facilities are essential to maintaining a satellite in a stable orbit. Anyways when I saw that I immediately thought Russia would start sabotaging the orbital space. If they can’t have a satellite, then no one else can either. Well that was only a few days ago, and now this. I hope I’m not correct.

  18. When will russia break apart? The pile of junk is already there.

  22. Starting to make me feel a bit better about their whole nukes in space plan.

  23. Give me a job piloting a cleanup space drone, I dare you.

  24. It’s not a ‘pile’. It’s a gradually dispersing cloud of shrapnel moving at 17,000 miles per hour. What happens if even a small piece of it hits another satellite or the Space Station?

    Buh, bye.

  26. So did it just tear it’s self apart or did it get shot down?

  27. I always knew Russia’s shitty engineering was going to be a problem, but this one didn’t occur to me…

  31. I bet it was the nazi super soldier mosquitoes with the space lasers

  32. I suggest everyone to read the manga “Planetes”. It’s great, and it’s about space junk.
