Interesting to consider, but quite a dramatic headline for a phenomena that has yet to kill anyone, injure anyone, or even damage property.
> And that's what's most concerning: that one day debris will hit a plane
The odds of hitting a plane seem… remote.
- orbital-decay 2y agoThe example of debris nearly hitting a plane in the article is also bogus, as the article they link to says the opposite of what they claim.
- multimoon 2y agoI’m in full agreement with you that the probability of being struck by space junk is less than remote, but I wouldn’t say it never happened - I recall just a few months ago a Florida home was struck by debris from the ISS. I agree it’s not something I’d ever consider or worry about as a risk though.
