Wait until we start losing our satellite TV, radio, pagers, and spy satellites to space junk; then (when it's too late), it'll get the attention it deserves. The worst thing is that the more stuff we put in orbit, the higher the likelihood of collisions. These collisions then spawn lots more space junk. So the problem grows exponentially.<br /><br />Sean Sadly, space junk has been a known problem for decades, yet there is no major move to reduce new additions.
