Race is on for space-junk alarm system

Hmm.....another big fence to keep the aliens out. Makes sense that the U.S. is promoting it.

That picture is amazing. Look at all that stuff! Remember when Skylab crashed back on Earth back in 1973? Can any or all of this junk come down? Hopefully it would burn up before it got here but wow. I can sure see why we need a way to clean it up. Doesn't look like there's a lot of room left.

How many things have we sent up there again?

Looks like we've created our own asteroid belt. LOL
