Thankfully NASA determines an object which weighed 1.6 pounds and smashed through a Florida man's roof wasn't the bag lost by two female astronauts last November

Go big or go broke I always say.

 This story was a real eye-opener for me.

The adverse health consequences of long term deep space travel make it a non-starter.

Sad.

Everything human beings touch turns into a shit-hole, including near-earth orbit

Space debris from India’s anti-satellite missile test a threat to ISS, NASA says :

But speaking on Monday, Bridenstine said NASA had identified 400 pieces of orbital debris from the test, with at least 24 of them — each one larger than 10 cm — having gone above the apogee of the ISS, something he described as “a terrible, terrible thing” and which put the safety of the ISS at risk. However, he confirmed that because the test was carried out low enough in Earth orbit, the fragments — and therefore the risk — would dissipate over time. The space agency is currently tracking 23,000 pieces of orbital debris, each one 10 cm or larger. Scientists, meanwhile, have been working on a number of different projects aimed at getting rid of the debris.

Can't they find anybody younger and stronger to do this job and do it right?

She's on her 8th spacewalk for crying out loud.
