I was just googling about "how to solve space debris problem" and suddenly I got a notification of your video and I was shocked!!!!!
Teacher: what do you want to become in the future
Me: INTERGALACTIC TRASH COLLECTOR
Point to note is that the space is going to get more crowded within next decade with SpaceX's starlink 12,000 satellite constellation, OneWeb's 882 satellites, Samsung's 4600 satellites etc. With
Well just figure out a way thats what science is for... fear mongering is for religious retards who pray for shit to happen and cross their arms.
They have put all of that shit up there with in like 50 years imagine if the rest of the world was traveling trough space at the rate the US has this will be a huge problem in the next 20 years it’s almost crazy to think how a group of people can be so intelligent but at the same time stupid their ambition will destroy the earth
*Is a magnet a good idea?*
The magnet orbits, and it's electrified therefore it can get ( or influence) all those projectiles. Finally, it becomes a small ball... And that's when we crash it down. ( for recycling)
you're nuts too... lol
Bullshit, 168 millions of debris in millimeters is like 1000 ant colony, not bigger than a neighboorhood so Why u draw like if the satellites surround the entire orbit of the planet. The Eart has a diameter of 12,742 km, so a thousand satelites of ten meters are not even the size of a large region even scattered...Funny how this video illustrate 10 meter's satellite with the size of a large city in space also....lol
Curious Elephant and Couriosity stream sounds like a dynamic duo
Best channel of my life
Your video is extremely well researched. I really appreciate your hard work that you put on to make such wonderful videos. All the best!
We need a Low Earth Orbit Savior to cleans us of our space debris.
Jesus, we depended on politicians to prevent climate change and space debris, but you replied on the situation. Didnt expect you to focus on problems on earth, considering the vastness of the universe.
Thanks to pewdiepie
Eyy it's my homie Jesus on my favotite Tech channel
Bro, you're everywhere!

*_Hi Jesus, I'm an Atheist._*
From mobiles to space - you couldn't be more versatile!
감사합니다. 좋은 정보를 얻었어요
really helpful
3:10 Half of something can't be larger than the other half, they are equal.
glad people are searching this...its a serious problem
true
Is it possible to recycle materials from the satellites, just for rare earth materials if there are any?
In the next Falcon 9 space mission (Spaceflight’s SSO-A) there will be launch PW-Sat2 satelite witch main technical goal is to test new deorbit technology in form of a large deorbit sail. More details: pw-sat.pl/en/mission/
Love the channel!!
All satellites should be capable of reaching a graveyard orbit. If that's even possible...
It's not really gravity that causes an object to come back down. Gravity shapes the orbit but atmospheric drag creates the unbalanced force that causes a runaway loss in altitude and eventual deorbit.
Space debris can save us from allian attacks.
If an hostile race has the ability to travel interstellar space and invade planets. That would be like punching a tank.
Alien may not be real or may not be fake
aliens arent real!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just thinking that myself when I stumbled across this. No alien in his right mind would try to circumvent all of our garbage!! They'd be like, "Turn around! Abort! Abort!" lol "When we visited this planet 60 years ago, there was zero space debris.... now look at this mess!" Our space may be even quarantined!
Dumb fuck
where is the link lei?
De-orbit? Benefitted from space?
The questions I have is how much retained energy remains on the debri that returns? Testing again needs done. The fact that most know the magnetic process leaves more to understand. Then there's the opposite , which some might say is anti gravity
We added high velocity shrapnel from he!! in our orbit! Yea! On the other hand, that maybe why there's so many UFOs crashing on Earth.
Great stuff lei!!!
If my small company's satellite stopped working, what would motivate me to deorbit it. Are there rules in place forcing company's to do this
Today i was working on that project and founded its solution by using falcon heavy
nasa espacial é demais curto todos os videos queria trabalhar lá.
Very well put together video, we are working on it...
wtf - just because the us has the highest stake in space at the moment it doesn‘t mean that it is no problem for all others
It's false to say that space debris "come back due to gravity" as stated in the video. It's the atmosphere that deorbits debris by slowly eating away at their orbital velocity due to drag. As the velocity decreases, their orbits lower which induces more drag and so on until they burn up in the thicker parts of the atmosphere.
The atmosphere is a gradient and doesn't just end anywhere but just thinns out. Satellites that are in low earth orbits therefore experience drag and will deorbit with time. If earth had zero atmosphere somehow, a piece of space junk would never come down if put in an orbit.
The reason I'm rambling about this is because you also mentioned escape velocity as the only way an object won't come back to earth, which isn't true. A stable orbit remains stable unless acted upon by collisions or drag (which is also collisions of course).
How long the atmosphere takes to deorbit something of course depends on the altitude and at some point the orbit is high enough that this time can be practically infinity.
At the altitude level of ISS, a cubesat is said to decay in about a year, so don't be too worried about those. It's the sats that rideshare on payloads going significantly higher than that are worrysome and might linger for decades.
wow
If nasa paid half ,that means it paid exactly as much as all the other countries combined
Throw the debris at Earth and enjoy the fireworks
*problem solved*
I'm sure military is interested in the most effecient way to deorbit Sat's. :(
Nice to see u here 😄😄
@@agnivmandal1946 👻
@@GareebScientist hell yeah I watched your param 8000 video and I m a subscriber.
@@adityabhardwaj1355 🙏🙏
*_Two reasons_*
*_1: Because NASA launched more satellites than any other country._*
*_2: NASA is Rich._*
Or we should let the UN decide
One company is starting to address
this problem in the area. This new way of doing internet and possibly all
communications is real. There name for those of you that want to see, please
look up "Airborne Wireless Network" and read. Maybe this will trigger
some more new ideas as well as being a partial solution on its own???
What does leo stand for im failing astronomy
Talk about Abnb & Tencent company please thanks 🙏
Funny how this video illustrate 10 meter's satellite with the same size of a large city...lol
I can show you animation of the planet Melmac, the one that Alf came from, but this don't mean that it's something that really exists
is it possible and when to clean all those space pollution debris?
Throw a couple Hachimaki and Tanabe in the orbit!
A space junkyard regaling machine would make someone big money .the system could be altered into a mining machine also.
We are already being shaded by jet plane exhaust, how much are we being shaded by all this stuff?!?
👍
Unbelievable that we have been able to pollute our orbit this much
You are such a good presenter!
How do any vehicles get past millions of pieces of space debris travelling at incredible speeds?? Seems impossible to dodge them. How are satellites and such not constantly being hit by these millions of pieces of debris, and how to they even get past them at launch to begin with?
Well, they thing is, they *are* being hit. It just happens once in a while only, because the Earth is *huge*, so the probability of two tiny objects coliding is pretty small.
However, this could become an exponentially increasing problem. Every impact creates a lot of more debris. So the more collisions there are, the more likely it will be for them to happen. We might be approaching the point of a terrifying and accelerating domino effect. And the more we wait to solve this, the harder it will be in the future. Not a good perspective...
All videos very nice ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
"if you're interested in the details, check the link in the description below"
where's the link?
finally :)
Chris Hadfield and Michio Kaku in one video ... You convinced me :)
And if they accumulate all the debris in one place, it would be the first scrap yard in space? At the price of kg in space, it would pay!
How come we do see them from our telescopes and other NASA pictures ? ? ?
i could use those links.
Space should just install Norton
A payload built for recycling. Try it.
Only way to fix this is to send up thousands of more satellite's
Please mention next time you talk about this that the debris may be moving around Earth at 17,500 mph, but everything else is moving at a comparable speed, so the relative velocity is not that high. The main reason it is so deadly is that spacecraft are extremely fragile and the relative velocity may not be 17,500 mph, but could still be quite high.
If they all move in the same direction yes
Once space debris becomes profitable to retrieve, the problem will be solved.
Rules of a planet:
1.Must orbit a star
2.must have a circular shape
3.Must have a clean orbit
Earth doesn’t have a clean orbit not a planet
Wat do u think Saturn Rings are made up of
@@raghuatheist4424 The definition of "satellite" in astronomy is "a celestial body orbiting the earth or another planet". Therefore the moon is a satellite and the rings of Saturn are also made up of satellites.
Clear orbit does not refer to things orbiting it, but the orbit it is in. Your understanding has a slight flaw.
@@newsgetsold
Thanks, I forgot about it as this video is only about artificial satellites debris.
@@TheEvilmooseofdoom Yes, the orbit in rule 3 is referring to the same orbit from rule 1.
nice looking animations, why you don't show a real video footage? Thousands of videos on this website about the satellites and space, but all of them showing animation instead a real video. The same like the core of the earth that nobody really ever seen, but we can create animation simulation, that's fine, but the space, why it's animation simulation again?
we did the same to our seas . and the same thing to the space . we humans are going to be the cause of our own End .
As far as America owning more of space than any one else, who has ownership of space to sell in the first place. What country is selling WHAT IT DOES NOT OWN.
So if one had an idea on how to solve the problem effectively where would the go for funding scince its not only one country problem
Just get a giant magnet into space and attract all the shit on it. Problem solved.. LoL
Weld all of them together and create a giant space station or startship 💁
since there are over 166000000 pieces between 1mm and 1cm in size, that might be a little difficult. Perhaps a big magnet might be required.
@@okidoke4822 yah create a sattelite with ita sole purpose is for it to do that or since the ISS is to be decommissioned in 2028. Find some way to electrically magnetise the station and let it serve that purpose.
@@tahmaskenchers1782 i think we've come up with a good answer
what about an extra moon made of debris
Hmmm .. I like your idea...
Good idea...But then *how are we going to control a large iron ball* ( comet) coming down to earth , periodically?
it just need a push out of earth orbit or push in to burn up - want a vacuum on reverse well space got vacuum
build a strong but small magnet and will send to junk belt every iron junk will be attracted towards it. And it will be our moon.
I have a solution that no one will like. We have gas giant planets....they are uninhabited....let's just casually push all the debris to a gas giant.
How can you say that when NASA pays 50% of the cost of the space station it is more than all other countries combined ?? Don’t they pay the other 50% ?
it just remember me about anime Planetes.
Ok, sure, but who then is paying these private companies to do all this? What's the profit incentive?
The regulations require the companies to pay, so it is part of the capital expense. The revenue and profits from operating the satellites will pay.
If the US spends more then any other nation on space exploration then why are our astronauts currently hitching rides to the ISS on Russian Soyuz rockets?
Any other country* in the world 3:47
Low income wage job of the future- low earth orbit garbage cleaning
it's so funny when you say "human exploration of outer space" when humans haven't even ventured past near earth orbit but once in the past 50 years and a trip to the moon is hardly "outer space". The only things we have in outer space is the voyager probes from the 70's and 80's.
great vi ...peace out
The solution is so easy, just go into the tracking station and hit the terminate mission button
Not sure why this is NASA's problem they're not the only ones putting things in space.
2DTheBeast of course it is. They are the ones causing majority of this junk? Who else does your bright brain think is responsible for this? 😂
Capture 250,000 individual pieces?! Not happening. It would take 100x the resources it took to get the junk there to begin with
Luckily orbit decay is a thing
I’m more concerned with plastic in the oceans.
Who thinks this looks like Wall-E’s earth?
Why not use the "space junk" to build new stuff? Is would be a profitable way i think
Most of the space debris are smaller than a tennis ball, it would take a lot of debris to built something relatively useful.
@@martiddy Yeah but u need to catch it anyway...I dont say that it will be much but their are some precious matierial like titanium etc. up there
If we say that tge most of the matierials are aluminium u would have 8.5T of tennis size stuff that u would burn in the atmosphere
@@carloslasner151 but reentering something, without burning it in the atmosphere is more expensive than gathering the stuff and reusing it
It would be nice if we could have a way to recycle the larger space debris.
Why can we still see the sun, the stars and the moon clearly and not see the debri abscuringbour view?
Why aren't all those creating this litter getting massive fines and made to clean up the messes they are making.
It's not all of NASA's
why not sell space debris some people sure would like to have some., hang it at your home or office.
I'm early
American is the largest donater to every project .we give countrys aid even Palestinians that dont have a country .not as if ther grateful we still continue .like us or not without us the world would be a dark miserable world.
India can send a Massive amount debris capturing satellites in one go.
What tf is wrong with humans it’s like we are never satisfied with life so we destroy ourselves why would they leave all of that shit up there is only been about 50 years since we’ve been going up there
Did u hear about the ISRO SSLV?????
So what, it deviates from the topic
@@echelonstreak110 Who said you that comments should always be on the topic???
This channel is mostly about Space and on a broader field this comment is on topic.
Stop poking nose everywhere. Go, get a job.
I wish we could actually see pictures of space debris
Watch the Anime Planetes
If SpaceX is going to keep using the F9 upper stage it might want to think about target and deorbit missions after primary launch deployment
3rd?
Here's the future of the space junk (elements) from 2 Peter Chapter 3 of the Holy
Bible KJV: 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count
slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish,
but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the
night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the
elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are
therein shall be burned up.11 Seeing then that all these things shall be
dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and
godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,
wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt
with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein
dwelleth righteousness.
If few books paper can stop a bullet,so can we need same book paper at 20x to stop Space junk?
Its all nasa fault
