Posted by Frances Bloomfield

(Natural News) After decades of sending rockets and satellites into space, low Earth orbit has since become polluted with all manner of orbital debris. Also known as space junk, it’s believed that there are well over 170 million pieces of orbital debris circling the earth, all of which are fragments of missions onto space. Currently, […]

Nearly ALL communications satellites could be obliterated in the next few years from a cascading “explosion” of space debris

June 13, 2017 -

Posted by Robert Jonathan

(Natural News) Space junk is an imminent menace to communications satellites, scientists are warning. Satellites, particularly of a military variety, are already under potential threat from ground-based hostile aggressors with missiles, lasers, kinetic weapons, cyber attacks, and other disruptive measures. You don’t have to be a rocket scientist, as it were, to realize that space […]
