>> SPACE DOOM: Two Pieces Of Space Junk May Force International Space Station Maneuver | |
| Strictlyhonest Offer Upgrade  User ID: 24198976  Netherlands09/27/2012 06:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | (TheWeatherSpace.com) - NASA is closely monitoring two pieces of space junk that would pose a threat to the International Space Station this morning and then again on Friday morning. Any debris, big or small, is large enough to harm the International Space Station. The reason for this is due to the speed they travel, about 17,500 mph. A European cargo ship docked to the International Space Station would be the only way they could successfully move the complex out of harm's way.

| Strictlyhonest (OP) User ID: 24198976 Netherlands09/27/2012 07:03 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | How big are those pieces of space junk? Quoting: Mr information 1337378 Is it the size of powder grains or big chunks like sattelite debris? But i guess at the speed of thousands of miles an hour it doesn't really matter does it? An old Russian COSMOS satellite is expected to enter the space station's so called red zone at 10:42 a.m. Then another piece of space debris, a fragment from an Indian rocket is expected to be pass by early Friday morning.

I see these are indeed potentially hazardous considering they would actually hit the station. But doesn't the international space station have an internal radar so that they could know if space debris is going to hit them? If a collision happens the space station will be obliterated and set the stage for a chain reaction of debris out of space. Hmm possible space doom! Doom on it!  |

I also wondered why they are telling us this. There are many things we are not being told. There were some asteroids or junk across the UK a few days back and now this? Are we about to witness more of these junk falling to earth but we are now being given the cover story of international space station? |
