You're name calling over a discussion of space debris? Man, it must suck to be you! Or to be around you.

As of December 31, 2009, there were 6,854 spacecraft launched. This is an average of 132 spacecraft a year over the last 52 years. This number varied from 180 in 1965 to only 77 in 2004 (see Table 1). Of those spacecraft, 3,543 are Russian and 1,811 are American. All other countries (including Europe, Japan, China, and India) had sponsored only 808 spacecraft. There are also 580 commercial spacecraft and 112 built by amateurs and students.

Perhaps a better approach would have been "Really!? I didn't know that, how fascinating! I didn't think there was that much junk, wow, I have learned something today!"
But you chose to question and try to defend your incorrect point.
I hope you have learned something today. I appologise if I was a bit rough on you ;O)
The vast majority of the estimated tens of millions of pieces of space debris
About 198 million square miles.
