Synopsis:
In less than 50 years of space travel you wouldn't believe the amount of galactic garbage we've created. There are millions of man-made pieces of junk including pieces of satellites, rocket bodies, even chips of paint! All of them become potential lethal weapons against spacecraft because they are travelling at such high speeds. Something the size of a golf ball is enough to wipe out the entire space station! Well, an Australian company has developed a state of the art tracking system to help avoid collisions with space junk. It's a laser system accurate enough to track junk only one centimetre in size

  • We have totally fucked up this planet and space. We as humans are so fuckin destructive. Too bad we couldn't invent something that could catch some if not most of the space debris without getting destroyed by the space debris. Course if it didn' t work, that would create more space debris. lol

  • Great video willo134 I find this quite interesting. :-)
