How One Collision Changed Everything in Space!
Space junk is becoming one of the biggest threats to our future in space. It all became shockingly clear in 2009 when an active satellite and a dead one collided at high speed creating thousands of dangerous debris pieces. That single event made scientists realize just how serious the orbital junk problem had become.
Today, millions of tiny fragments are orbiting Earth at speeds faster than bullets. Even a small piece of space debris can destroy a satellite, damage the ISS, or trigger a chain reaction known as the Kessler Syndrome a scenario where debris keeps multiplying until space becomes unusable.
In this video, we explain:
What happened in the 2009 satellite collision
Why space junk is rising faster than ever
How debris can destroy satellites and spacecraft
The terrifying Kessler Syndrome and how it could trap us on Earth
What scientists are doing to clean up space
Why we must act NOW before it becomes irreversible
Space may look empty, but its filling up with dangerous junk and if we dont take action soon, the future of space travel could be at risk.
