How mant pieces of space debrit do you think are up there?


Here is NASA's opinion.

orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov...

3). How much orbital debris is currently in Earth orbit?
Approximately 17,000 objects larger than 10 cm are known to exist. The estimated population of particles between 1 and 10 cm in diameter is greater than 200,000. The number of particles smaller than 1 cm probably exceeds tens of millions. Return to Top
