LOL! The space age is over!

The US and China created more debris in their ASAT tests.

The Chinese did it at 800 km where the debris will stay for hundreds of years. Some of the debris from the Chinese test came within 6 km of the ISS:

People will never colonise anything because of internal struggles on earth and every country creating more and more debris during testing making it impossible to leave Earth. Forever kept on this clown world no escape

It seems that antisatellite weapons are not to destroy satellites, but to deny orbit for them in the future.

If anything this is the kind of thing that will cause us to develop better shielding technology.

You're unlikely to be hit by a lightning strike but that doesn't mean that you should go stand in some open area while carrying a lightning rod above your head during a storm.

There's actually even an animated video on this topic

you cant shield something hitting you at 15k mph
its like people havent watched the anime.

what a sensible engineer does is shield the rocket from the debris, just in case, but the current situation is not gonna stop us from launching shit into orbit nor is the end of space exploration

>he doesn't realise the US now has a good reason to fund the creation of a new space station

the company already exists btw. it's called The Gateway Foundation and it is way better than that tin can piece of crap "space station" we have now

>Because you can just grab something with a magnet that's travelling 45,000 mph.
>Because we use ferrous metals in spacecraft.
>Because purposely putting you spacecraft in the same orbit as a hundred pounds of pea sized projectiles is an awesome idea.

Should I go on or are you done being an idiot?

I'm saying that we shouldn't increase the amount of space debris orbiting our planet just because the current chances of being hit are so low

You don't have to grab it
You have to change the trajectory enough to make it enter the atmosphere

What am I supposed to be seeing here

And thus it begins the pollution of space to stop the space race before it begins. For it's might seem better for no men to leave this globe, since he was not on the same team.

If space pollution gets bad enough we'll have to deal with global cooling

He's right you know.

I have to add, that for that to happen we would hace to keep throwing ships at space for shits and giggles long after closing the LEO for good.
So it will never happen

Yeah, Velocity=Apoapsis, the closer a geosynchronous satellite is to its center of orbit by definition the slower it must be going.

Most of these particles won't be geosynchronous which complicates things, but if you slowed them down slightly they'd pull down past the decay floor and burn up in the atmosphere after a few years.

Yeah the adults are talking boy, you go take your low-information nonsense over to /x/.

>people ACTUALLY believe this
I bet you also believe that the United States "lost the technology" to reach the moon. Be aware that this "debris" non-issue will be used much the same way as "climate change" to alter public discourse in the near future and have the cattle populace give up on leaving any time soon. Soon after (20 years or so) they will begin replacing all previous footage of earth and the planets with advanced CGI.

>debris non issue
its hard enough to dodge the van allen radiation belts, plural, without a ton of scrap metal in your way
and flakes of paint, can fuck you up at those speeds.

you cant speak about space here because trolls start with the non sense webm files

Van Allen is much further away.
There are supposedly hundreds of satellites orbiting right now flawlessly and never even encountering a single issue. This debris noise is similar to Al Gore's divine prophecy of global hyper-tornadoes, remember when the entire earth flooded about 5 years back? Shit was crazy.

>Trolls
nah, they're israel posters

>and never even encountering a single issue
wrong, there are alot of dead sats thanks to radiation and ionized microchips.

You know what? I don't think I give a shit.
My life was perfectly good in the 80's & 90's.

There is no way to clear space debris. It's tiny pieces of random shit moving with very high relative velocities.
Shit countries are literally going to shit up space until we can't even fly satellites anymore. GPS will eventually be a thing of the past. This is great.

> Thats why space business is stalled goy.

You can't armor shit against pellets hitting them at these relative velocities.

Oh shut the fuck up. Its a load of shit, and you know it.

Don't forget its the poo niggers who did this. They would still being pooing in pre-industrial conditions if not for our tech spreading to the savages. We had one chance to start quickly wiping the globe of savages and we didn't take it. Now the world is fucked.

Just attach a big magnet.

You realize we’re talking about nuts and bolts, right?

How are you going to alter the orbit? Hit them with something?

>thinks you can shield against this shit
Nope, never happening. Scientists and engineers have been talking about this hazard for decades btw, and no one paid much mind.

The Chinks are polluting space, now?
Fucking brilliant..

Come on pole, don't you fags at least pretend you have math/physics in your country?

Space travel is fucking stupid. Do they really think that shitskins aren't going to force whitey to take them to the stars too?

Geosynchronous sats will be fine

I am just joking.

Thx Pajeet for shitting up space too!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome

Space travel is just the new opium of the people.
It's just pop science levels of delusion to believe we will ever leave this gay earth.

Altering a circular orbit requires two impulses on either side of planet. The debris was kicked into elliptical orbits, and lost deltaV. It will all be gone in a matter of weeks. The danger is some of the debris crosses the iss path now. But for sure, the danger will be gone shortly.

Earth is completely encased in trash

For sure this was a political FU to someone. To do it in a polar orbit indicates either malevolence, or utter incompetence.

Fucking retarded poo niggers.
The morons are so desperate for recognition that they are willing to send their poorly designed POS AS rocket into space and create so much fucking debrees.

>you criticized my previous brown people so I'm going to reflexively accuse you of being uninformed, even though this is a well-documented issue that space agencies have been complaining about for years

laser pressure
intercept the debris path from a higher orbit and shoot impulses until they deorbit and burn up into the atmosphere on their own

>Why don't we just armor the rockets?
nothing can resist a shard of metal traveling at 45,000 kph

>u do realize that space is fucking huge and chances are u will never get hit by space debris, do u?
it is unlikely but when it does happen whatever it collides with will break into hundreds of new shards every single time and the problem then grows exponentially.

It is a NON issue, and another fucking Hoax like ''muh climate change''. Dumb fuck.

*precious

just go back and listen to their news when they struck pakistan up until they shot down their own helicopter. they get so full of themselves from their own fucking propaganda that they will literally fucking shoot themselves

Its just a fucking piece of metal.

hit them with laser. laser evaporates part of objects, gases from evaporation push object away

so are bullets

Wasn't that a plot point in Cowboy Bebop?

wow you sure convinced me

Dont worry we will ensure every planet gets its pootroid ring

but why does earth have to be flat? Why not a cube?

we can never land on the moon again goym. our scrpt got lost and now we can't escape the debris wall. we are trapped on the earth goym. pay your taxes else we will all burn to ashes because of climate warming

God damn this makes me hate those street shitters even more...Literally destroying the future of humanity. It is now justified to hate them.

Indians are pooing in their streets and now they are pooing in space.

Now we have designated poo orbits.

You shut up you absolute dumb nigger
These pieces of metals go at speed of up to 10 km/s
No matter their mass, they can't get through anything, including expensive satellites.

So Anime is finally real huh? Guess I have to re watch Bebop again. Still have it on DVD. I remember there was also an Episode with the Space Shuttle that exploded "Columbia". Coincidence? Are we already living in an Anime Clown World?

>They would still being pooing in pre-industrial conditions if not for our tech spreading to the savages.

No, you fucktarded imbecile. There are NO pieces of anything capable of damaging our satelites, you braindead autistic moron.

Again. Kessler effect is a fucking HOAX. In few years we will be landing on Mars, and starting space colonisation.

we will clean up space debris by launching chinese bug people at 50000km/hr at the debris to propel them both out of earth's gravitational field

It should not be difficult to shield against metallic space debris. Maintain an intense EM field around a spacecraft. Anything that gets close enough will be vaporized.

Of course that will take a lot of power. Full power to shields.
