Editorial #1

This editorial is about how there are thousands and thousands of particles of debris floating in orbit around the earth, which pose a threat to future space travels. Old worn out satellites that arent being used anymore often times collide with other satellites, creating debris. There isnt a way as of now to clean up the debris, nor are satellite companies active in taking down their unused satellites, which can make for a disaster. Human controlled spacecraft face fatal collisions with debris if something isnt done soon to clean up the space junk.
