Yeah, but it’s pretty cool that the orbiting pile of garbage can dodge space debris…

Ah, the new Lemmy switcharoo!

Hold my garbage, I'm going in!

A lot of the debris is man made that we put up there is my point.

[-] MagicShel@programming.dev 6 points 11 months ago

Now there’s a bunch more of it was my joke.

[-] chahk@beehaw.org 7 points 11 months ago

The only solution? Put more of it up there, of course!

[-] Sharkwellington@lemmy.one 8 points 11 months ago

Does space debris have any known natural predators?

[-] Plus_a_Grain_of_Salt@beehaw.org 6 points 11 months ago

Yes, other space debris.

And gravity.

[-] jarfil@beehaw.org 4 points 11 months ago

Atmosphere. Gravity just helps smash them against it.

[-] jcarax@beehaw.org 1 points 11 months ago

Even without an atmosphere, gravity would pull the debris to crash into the planet itself.
