Flaming remarks. Removed
- podperson 13y agoI think you're missing the point of the "big brothers". The dark translucent outer circle represents debris. China has a huge amount of debris (thanks to deliberately blowing stuff up) compared to countries with far larger numbers of satellites.
- velodrome 13y agoActive Satellites / Non-Active Satellites / Orbiting Space Debris: US: 453 / 683 / 3258 Russia/USSR: 86 / 1310 / 2690 China: 40 / 29 / 2690
- cygwin98 13y agoSo blame the picture itself then. The last number is colored nearly black on a dark background. Also the number is a bit misleading. Most of the China's debris were probably generated by the ASAT test in 2007, which is not a common case.
