Aah, the moon and the stars and oh yeah, space junk

So, a big consideration in launching an expensive satellite in to space is danger from…Space Junk.  You can rocket your expensive communication or weather satellite into space but how long will it stay up there?  Not for long if a spent rocket carcass crashes into it at 20k miles per hour.  Either knocking it out of orbit or completely obliterating it.  Turning your expensive satellite into space junk as well.  Worthless.  A giant waste of time and money.  Just adding more debris in space as more threats to future satellite launches or space exploration.

It’s bad enough down here on earth to see abandoned refrigerators along side the rural county roads.  Plus bags of home generated garbage and tossed away rubber tires.  All adding to the blight of our earthbound landscape.  In space or on the ground, we have a growing problem with our trash.  How to get rid of it?

It is obvious our so-called rocket scientists failed to plan for what to do with space junk after the fact.  Most likely a puzzlement beyond the calculations of space engineers.  Likewise our waste management scientists have the same problem.  How to dispose of waste junk.  On the ground and in the air.

Then there the problem with nuclear waste.  Where to put it.  Where to hide it.  We have a huge space and ground waste management problem.

Perhaps we should stop producing future junk until we develop ways of permanently ridding the environment of this junk problem.

Can the rocket scientists make rockets out of biodegradable materials?  Maybe making it from paper egg cartons?  Maybe making refrigerators, which can be recycled into new refrigerators?  How long will we continue to make such junk before we run out of space on the ground or up in space.  No space in space?  Yuck.  How will we observe the stars and moon on a romantic summer night?  “Oh look dear, remember the space lab America and the Russians built?  There it goes up there in about six pieces.  How cool.”
