Mye rart som går i bane rundt jorda

[Even Rognlien]

Se på dette her (åpnes i GoogleEarth)! Helt sykt hvor mye som ligger og sirkler rundt jorda!

 

This KML network link visualizes all earth orbiting objects tracked by the United States Strategic Command (USSTRATCOM) using the satellite database processed by Analytical Graphics, Inc. using the Dynamic Geometry Library. All satellites are tracked in real-time and updated every 30 seconds.

 

USSTRATCOM has been tracking space objects since 1957 when the Soviets opened the space age with the launch of Sputnik I. Since then, they have recorded more than 26,000 space objects orbiting Earth. There are currently more than 12,000 man-made orbiting objects, the rest have re-entered Earth's turbulent atmosphere and disintegrated, or survived re-entry and impacted the Earth. The space objects now orbiting Earth range from satellites weighing several tons to pieces of spent rocket bodies weighing under 10 pounds. About 3,000 space objects are operational satellites, the rest are space debris, retired satellites and rocket bodies left over from launches.

Haha! Det ser ut som en myggsverm

Utrolig at de ikke kolliderer

Som om søppelplassene ikke var overfylte nok på jorden, forsøples også rommet. På tide å bygge romheisen (materialene er allerede oppfunnet), og rydde opp (sende skrapet inn i solen).

 

Andre "romlinger" finner nok lett jorden etterhvert. Er bare å se etter planeten som snart har mer søppel i bane enn Saturn har ringer.
