Well I guess It was bound to happen sooner or later! Isn't there a country that is making some sort of traffic control system for the satellites orbiting Earth? I guess they weren't quick enough

EXPLOSIONS IN SPACE??? ME WANT VIDEO OF THIS AWESOMENESS!!! I GUZZLE TESTOSTERONE!!!!!!!

As long as the internet, television, handphones, and telephones are still working, I don't see the difference. Oh and lets not forget the metor detector.

(whoa ) There are approximately 560 satellites operating in Earth orbit, out of 8,000 man-made objects in total. In its entire history, the SSN has tracked more than 26,000 space objects orbiting Earth. The majority of these have fallen into unstable orbits and incinerated during reentry. The SSN also keeps track which piece of space junk belongs to which country. Satellites have an operating lifespan be... [More]
