- There is actually a ton of space junk that orbits the earth. NASA, The Space Force and the Space Surveillance Network keeps track of every piece large enough to be detected. But even the smallest pieces still impose a threat since they move at high velocities.

So not only did people pollute the earth but also space ? 😭
The orbit*
Don't worry, most of it will fall back on Earth eventually
@@SapphireScroll that's bad because space is infinite but earth isn't
@@H3rmes_88If an object is not big it wont survive reentry burn.
None of any space junk can survive a reentry burn.

😂😂
Yey tat why after 2000 they go here less .the spacecraft scrach They cost

Hahaha kooties🙈🌍🤢
@@M9io7pioEven Albert Einstein had a stroke trying to read this
Aliens won't talk to us cuz we trash.
lmao
Guess we are safe... maybe...
They built functional spacecraft, if we manshed to give satelites some space junk immunity.. why act like a more advanced race would be dumber than us.
Bold of you to assume aliens might be better lmao

imagine an alien fleet invades and they get done in by "space junk" XD
Why do you think Alien UFOs crashed in Area 51?

Space junks had been plans by NASA to fight against alien invasions
Demons are ufos

That's the reason that Aliens don't bother to enter earth's atmosphere 😂
Why do you think they crash?
No human ever left it either
I love how they made a rule where you can't litter in space but yet they're doing it
These pieces fall back to earth and burn up in the atmosphere. They mean sending junk on an escape trajectory. Where it'll be flying nearly forever.
@@snowylynx36 most of these orbits will be stable for many years, and we make it far faster than it falls back to earth, space junk is a real problem that shouldn't be inderestimated

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune: See how beautiful of us having a ring around us!
Earth: Yo! Check my rings it forms a cage around me!
Im sure if we had the ability to map debris in their orbits we'd see some pretty gnarly cages around them, too.
You'd think millions of years of ring collisions have likely produced such orbits from trillions of slices of ice and rock orbiting at 10,000+ mph.
@@stevenhetzel6483 you're a joke...
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Chariklo, Neptune, and Haumea have rings. Not just those four. I guess Earth does too.

Space junk in LEO (Low Earth Orbit)
It will burn down to earth.
So we mostly need space junk in LEO that wouldnt come down to earth to be shot down with a anti sattelite laser system
@@haz4787wouldnt that make it worse
Space junk is not as much of an issue as people make it out to be. 23,000 items the size of a softball seems like a lot until you imagine how much space 23,000 softballs would cover on the surface of the Earth. Now expand the radius of the Earth 100 miles and you would have roughly one softball for every 2 square miles. It gets even more complex than that because of the different heights of orbits, 100 miles above the earth would be the minimum to reach space.
Yes, but it ahouldn’t be ignored as it’s a growing problem. Also there are more than 23 000 items. Way more. But 23 000 of them were the size of soft balls.
Dont forget, they travels 17,500 mph, so even each junk seperate 2 square miles but they travel so fast, still very dangerous
I agree with this assessment. Not only are impacts rare, but the orbits themselves of the space junk change (mainly in LEO; low earth orbit). Don't get me wrong, it can still be a very dangerous hazard, but the likely hood of a major impact is next to nothing, especially with entire departments in multiple countries watching space 24/7.
Aren’t there like millions of junk too small to even count? Aren’t those a danger too?
Dnt forget all the millions of smaller pieces
Earth: Mom i want beautiful rings like saturn
Mom; we got rings at home
The rings:
Lmao. That's why I see none of it through my telescope
We are so blessed to be a part of this man's community
Me walking into my room when it's dirty, as opposed to actually cleaning it
“It’s near impossible to collide with an object in space while traveling at light speed because of the voidness of space itself. Unless you’re near Earth’s orbit…”
No shit thats how gravity works. Things gather around a big mass with storng gravitational pull. Crazy
what if saturns rings are just aliens space junk 😂
Aliens look at our planet like: *man this shit dirty as hell. Don’t fuckin wanna be here.*
...not UP TO 17500....but STARTING AT that speed
Because that's minimal orbital velocity
Correct. Put some of this debris in extreme elliptical orbits, like the debris that would come from satellites and landers launched to the moon, and the speeds once they wrap back around earth get pretty spicy.
Lets not even talk about sats launched towards Mars that didnt get extra rocket boosts to put them in it's orbit.
The thought that Kevlar is gonna do much to orbital velocity objects is laughable
it’s amazing how something as small as a millimeter could do damage
Did you skip physics class?
@@woofu9872 he’s right. something that small can have the impact of a grenade if it hits a space station. they have to be extremely careful about it
Speed matters too, Just as much as mass.
@@st1nkytreeActually speed matters also.
Everyone worrying about this: Don’t worry, a company called Astroscale is dedicated to picking up space junk so other space missions aren’t impacted by debris! The CTO of the company came to talk at my school and he explained how their satellites work. Once they detect pieces big enough to be picked up, they bring it back to the Earth’s atmosphere to be burned up, and the best thing is, it doesn’t pollute the Earth! Next step: Do that with the Garbage Patch
SnsnwhujjjJahe to yeheu 😊
😂 whahaha what a baloney if you believe that space is full of junk you are fooling yourself, why they need snorkels in space 😂
@@StefanoRicci1313 not my fault you’re an idiot🤷♀️ Bet you believe the earth is flat too
There should be a stellaris event where a tomb world could spawn with junk blocking off entry
Agreed
We really litter everywhere, even the outer space where we don't live in.
Speak for yourself lol
Space junk its a byproduct of the essential and unstoppable development of our species. It doesn't hurt anyone, it just causes us more work to do.
only earth’s orbit
@@Fronverjl he did though?
@@Po1lux "we"?

@@TheThingsWeDoReal typical airliner goes 600-700 mph. SR-71 (most people probably haven't heard of it) is the only aircraft that goes that fast.
To send a camera to space is so incredibly expensive
It’s cheaper to do a cgi of all the debris
no wonder aliens are not interested in earth lol
Imagine someone gets hit 😵
E vai ( Porquê estes satélites, forma a spce foce).
Highly unlikely
There's literally a whole anime about cleaning speace in future becomes a job.
We have space armor to protect us from alien invasion 😂
Earth now have a protective shield against E.T.s
If we don't deal with space junk it will fill the space around the earth and trap humanity from leaving the planet.
It’s not as dense as those animations portray
@@UV_Lightning it is
@@UV_Lightning it's still possible
1. Things in orbit will fall back down. Dont worry about it hitting a house or something. Most of the time it will go boom during reentry.
2. They're NASA. Theyll make a gun or some shit to destroy it or something. One thing i know is that im sure theyll find a way.
@@electronicguy420 its not lol, its Highly Innacurate on size. Most of them aren't even 1 meter in diameter let alone that big
Bro imagine the humans polluted the entire solar system 💀💀
'i tried to create a suit of armour around the world, but I created something terrible'
Now I understand why aliens don’t visit us. We have a shield in orbit which would destroy their ships.
5.56 Bullets travel at speed of 2k M/H, but probably will not travel over 2 miles.
By the way is that the initial speed that will gradually drop?
Or Average?
Nah who’s space junk interrupted my gps 💀💀💀
POV you dont under stand how big space is
We literally are slowly Dyson sphering our selves. 😂
Soon that problem will compound until we can't send spacecrafts
Most of it will burn down to earth.
Especially junk in LEO
Orbits decay over time. There’s not a lot of drag up there. But it’s enough to bring orbits back down to earth over time. Although stuff in medium-high earth orbit might be a concern.
No it won’t
So WALL-E is a prediction of the future…
So this is why the Alliens stopped visiting us since the 90s
When are we gonna make a roomba for space
When those 1mm pieces puncture the ISS' protective shields and kevlar but only make 10 more 1mm pieces 🤡
What

@@vietta6424why
Someone needs to make a giant space net
Impossible lol
The relative speeds of space junk hitting satellites can vary from 0 to like 30000 mph, depending on the relative inclanation of their orbits. There are some retrograde orbits that cross prgrade orbits.
We really need to do something about all that space trash, I feel like it’s very dangerous to be that close to it, it’s like a barrier
You know you're watching an American video when size is compared to softballs and speed to bullets
"this is what an eraser will do"
Famous last words
Imagine that you have finally achieved the job of your dreams, working at the ISS, you get out of the station on your first ever space walk for routine maintenance, and then you get obliterated by a fucking pencil
I think they've been working on cleaning junk since 2015 and they are now thinking of making it economical and automated in the long run.
The waffle House has found its new host
Mitochondria is the power house of the cell
Bro we not gon survive till the sun dies when we can’t even keep space clean 💀
Please make a complete video in this subject. It's an important question for a space passionate like me
Imagine doing a space walk and suddently you get chopped by a piece of f*cking space junk
Earth: hey look at my ring
Imagine mother earth created humans to make space debris in order to protect itself from something we don't know about yet!
No. Your hippie dippy nonsense is exactly that. Nonsense.
Educate yourself on the real world.
There are contracts available for new materials , designs needed for something capable of removal of this space junk, tools capable of cutting or grabbing that can be used in a space suit ,a space suit with extreme radiation resistance and extra strong to reduce the chance of death by impact ect,.
These are real contracts I have read through some not all of them I will find the link for anyone interested.
Fun fact: Smaller orbital debris under a cm are grouped with micrometeoroid in fact many space agencies refer this as MMOD (Micrometeoroid and Orbital Debris), even the smallest of these, like paint flecks have kinetic energy to seriously damage spacecrafts
Aliens be thinking, that species on earth is so advanced that they created a thing to protect the earth 💀
Eventually we're just gonna have rings
Imagine those valuable parts which we engineers and hobbyists can use for creativity
i was wondering this yesterday actually
People: What's our defence against Alien Invasion?
Govt: Space Junk.
there was a unique opportunity for me to see all the space junk during a clear sky just before sunrise .i literally saw 50 space junk with my bare eyes in just 30 minutes .most of them were rocket propellants.
we can track a softball up in space but no info on ufos, eh?
How do we solve the problem of space junk?
Elon Musk: Yes.
There is a good thing from this as if we’re lucky enough we could have a hand made ring protecting us from deadly asteroids
I don't think people really rhe magnitude of how sparsely these are spread.
Thats cuz they look at the models that try to expand the instances to show where they are, and assume that's the size of them actually up there.
@@cipherx2181 which just adds to how ridiculous some people are cause if they were THAT big, that'd be one hell of a show at night....
This is why aliens won't ever visit us
Bro just casually called Cosmos as Space Junk XD
This should just prove how big the earth is, because any time I’ve ever watched the international space station there’s only been a few times I’ve even seen a piece of space junk floating around! This planet is absolutely huge and awesome
Any junk that ricochet off each other might fly out of Earth's gravity well. So that stuff isn't just circling Earth, it's part of the universe now. Imagine we get a rover onto Jupiter's moon in 10 years and just as we start taking pictures, it's destroyed by a titanium bar that Kevin's grandpa let slip away years ago.
Nice. Now we need space cleaning department !
Okay so, hear me out. What if we got a giant net-
Can a net catch a space junk big as a grain of sand you fool?
I know what you gona say now
Then don't call it a net then
A net with smaller holes then
@@gracehalpape3021
That wouldn't be called even a net
Maybe you just forget about a net and spread the thing without the holes in it
@@gracehalpape3021
A net with smaller holes. Haha the space junk may also punch throw that hole and make it a bigger hole because they travel with high speeds faster than a bullet
Even fully intact special material against the impact of this on the iss couldn't stand it, what about a net haha
@@thehuslewithnomuscle1513 you don't seem to like nets

They dont mention it much anymore but micro meteorites flying around at insane speeds that pose a threat lol
Mrbeast 2032: IM GONNA CLEAN ALL THE SPACE JUNK AROUND EARTH
This is present situation, but Future is much scary than you can think.
Imagine being on the ISS and anytime a piece traveling 10x as fast as a bullet can hit you.
One day the space junk will be so much , that it can act as a defense mechanism
Whaaaaaat?!?!?!? 17 500 mph?!?!?!?
Oh right… thats orbit velocity… so pretty much everything is moving at that speed…
@@guodlca do you have any idea how impossible it is to hit something on the same orbit as you? Never mind on a different orbit
See this is why aliens never visited us, they can't risk getting their spaceships rammed by junks
its really simple... space, is really big
I was like why does the speed matter because the other object is also moving as fast but... they might not be moving in the same directions
space is soooooo wide and your "satellite" or "junk" is huge, bigger even than an island😭
Ppl, the fotage he shows with the polution in the orbit is obviously made extremer than it actually is, yes polution in the orbit is still a big problem, cause we can't leave earlh at some point, but its not as extreme as shown, Yet
Its like having junk in your room
No wonder aliens are not visiting us anymore.
Thank god you said an actual round instead of just “a BuLlEtT!” it gives some actual frame of reference and isn’t just a meaningless number
Aliens : Hey humans not even outer space
Humans : No
For reference there is more bigger piece of machine's in our atmosphere in smaller space, called ... airplanes. 🤷🏼♂️
