Why the hell is Russia adding to the debris issues in our orbit???!

A Kessler Syndrome event would knock out cell phones and other important technologies!

Space waste management will be a big business. How to get in on the ground floor?

So they're using 50 year old Russian spacesuits that have almost killed a couple of people, and now they're jiving with that Cosmik Debris.

This UFO episode addresses this.

The notice came just two weeks after Russia fired a missile that destroyed a dead satellite polluting low Earth orbit with more than 1,500 pieces of debris that forced the astronauts and cosmonauts to evacuate the space station and board their spacecraft in case they had to flee.

The Russians recently stressed the station and nearly spun it out of control. It's long past time to cut them loose from joint projects, not least because it shouldn't have been done in the first place.
