Since #spacewaste and spacecrafts are traveling at high speeds, the impact of even a tiny piece of debris with a spacecraft could create big problems. The rising population of space debris increases the potential danger to all space vehicles 🚀 https://t.co/P4MzafjGkY
ICYMI: Space debris is a growing problem and even the tiniest piece can damage satellites we rely on every day. 🛰️

DYK: About 90 tons of old spacecraft re-enter Earth's atmosphere every year, and most of these are rocket bodies abandoned in earth orbit. On average, objects weighing over 11,000 pounds re-enter every 215 days. Help us end #spacewaste. https://t.co/fXqVWmWueL
Space waste is a threat to our space infrastructure, our astronauts, and our space superiority. My latest oped was first published in @dallasnews. #SpaceWaste

There are thousands of pieces of #spacewaste circling the Earth at more than 17,000 miles per hour, threatening operational satellites and even people in orbit. Join our mission to end space waste! 🚀
With an increasing number of satellites being launched, the space around the planet is beginning to get congested. How do we handle this #spacewaste?https://t.co/sjgJg5C4Tv
Most #spacedebris burns up while re-entering the atmosphere, and much of what’s left over often falls in the ocean. However, with more spaceships entering orbit, impacts on land may happen more frequently. https://t.co/gGMcgaqqoG
Cleaning up #spacewaste is more important than ever. The potential for debris from satellites and rockets to cause harm at the Earth’s surface (or in the atmosphere to air traffic) is increasing. Join our mission to end waste in all its forms 🚀 https://t.co/He9nc9ZWLr
