  • All that space and they manage to hit, amazing in itself. There is a theory about some 6,000 orbiting objects, at what point does a chain reaction take place, which could destroy most all orbiting satellites and contaminate orbital pathways for decades after that.

  • Vcelku to ujde to graficke znazornenie

  • Даа, русские в космосе, ыыы

  • ха-ха-ха. Всего за пару часов много миллионный проект США в каке....

  • ...eventually we create our own prison, where nothing can leave or enter earth , preventing us from going migration away from our point of origin/extinction & preventing our harvest of the universe until we grow a little wiser .

    ~ Ain't it amazing how the universe always seek balance , even with life that believes it is "intelligent" ?

  • Yeah, this totally happened to my cousin also. He was just chillin on the corner when suddenly, BAM!!! Satellite Collision. He might never walk again.

  • space teris lol lol 666 666 13 13

  • 0:57 HOLY COW!

    Look at that lot!

  • i smell space tetris

    but this is a big issue

  • What's the name of that computer program?

  • STK

  • метко стреляет индеец Егор

  • dam, more debris to the space!!!!

  • The iridium 33 satellite was more specifically a secret federal reserve banking satellite. This was no accident. It was a message!

  • munnezza in the sky

  • Ah yes, this proves that what goes up.. must come down.//

  • Actually, it doesn't - it just keeps going round & round & round & round & round...

    That's the problem - several tonnes of shrapnel flying through orbital space at five miles per second - which, having far less surface area, will now take thousands of years to slow down & fall into the atmosphere due to drag against the last wisps of air up there, rather than the couple of decades the whole satellites would've taken.

  • 1 less Iridium flare to look for :(, i'm surprised much of the things would be left as they're both moving at over mach 10 i believe

  • seems prety unlikely 2 small satellites can collide. Ah well, ill believe it.

  • Indeed, the odds of two satellites colliding in orbit are _exeedingly_ small. That's what made this event so surprising.

  • These governments are really stupid to put nuclear things up there. Someday one will fall and create a radioactive cloud that will kill thousands.

  • fail

  • Iridium 33 was private, for satelite phone service.

  • Are you saying there is no radioactive material in orbit?

  • Luckily it wasn't one of the ones containing an RTG full of plutonium.

  • even if it was nothing would hit earth, it would burn up

  • "even if it was nothing would hit earth, it would burn up "

    You speak out of ignorance.

    The fuel pellets in RTGs are specifically designed NOT to burn up, because that would spread atomized plutonium everywhere.

    Also, your response bespeaks a lack of understanding of what burning actually is. Burning plutonium doesn't make it any less radioactive; burning is a chemical process, radioactivity is a nuclear process.

    So actually, if an RTG did burn up it would be the worst case scenario.

  • Sorry for asking,what would actually happens if the Plutonium thingy hits Earth ?

    Does it pose a threat to man ?

  • "Sorry for asking,what would actually happens if the Plutonium thingy hits Earth ?

    Does it pose a threat to man ? "

    RTGs are designed so that the fuel pellets stay whole during re-entry.

    So theoretically it should be fine unless you're unlucky enough to find one and pick it up.

    This has already happened a couple of times.

    The Apollo 13 mission which suffered an explosion and had to aborted carried an RTG with about 4kg of plutonium, which re-entered the atmosphere without leakage and...

  • ...(continued)

    remains at the bottom of the tonga trench in the pacific to this day.

    In '64 a US military satellite burned up on re-entry. This had the old design of RTG which did release it's plutonium, and caused radioactive contamination of the area.

    This happened about five or six times in the early days, and caused a significant amount of contamination, and raised the background radiation level a bit in those areas.

  • thanks for the info dude.

    Damn, I 'm kinda worried though...

  • "I 'm kinda worried"

    It's not as bad as it seems.

    The total number of people who died nuclear accidents since nuclear power was invented is less than a single year's worth of road traffic deaths. Or deaths from eating too much fat and sugar. Or deaths from fossil fuel power.

    Even the worst nuclear accident in history killed less people than the number of kids who starve to death every minute of every day.

    So there are worse threats to humanity than radiation leaks.

  • When it is showing the debris, it says "Debris not to scale," in the bottom right. And I would bet that the dots are not the actual size, because if they were any smaller, we wouldn't be able to see where the sattelites were. For the debris field size, I bet it covers that area, but that is hundereds or thousands of little pieces that are not in a big crowd, probably with many feet or hundres of feet between. I doubt this is completely accurate, it just gives us a picture to put in our head.

  • I got an idea, your dad should have pulled out you tard.

  • Is it true that they crashed into eachother in a speed of 35 000 km/h?

  • Сдается мне что американцы потренировались на кошках...

  • Ok, it looks like we've not only trashed the planet, but also turned outer space into a garbage can. God only knows what the governments of the world have send up there, and what may come raining down on us at anytime.

  • OMG great!!!

  • An awesome insight to the collision - and a quick analysis! Great job guys :-)
