Some day, school children may spend Earth Day in spacesuits cleaning up space garbage like this. wink

But seriously, it seems that Earth orbit is getting more crowded all the time, and will only get more crowded as countries like China and India gradually increase the number of satellites they put up over time. Heck, even Iran just got into the satellite launching business the other day when they put their homegrown Omid satellite into orbit, and reportedly have 7 more satellites in the works.
