NASA UFO COVER UP!!! SAYS SPACE DEBRIS ON THE INCREASE!!

EXCERPT:

Spaceflight risk

The satellite collision above Siberia increased the risk of damage from space junk to spacecraft across a wide range of Earth orbits that include the Hubble Space Telescope, Earth observation satellites and astronauts aboard the International Space Station. It increased the risk to NASA's station-bound space shuttles by about 6 percent, or a 1-in-318 chance of damage, the space agency said.

NASA plans to launch the shuttle Atlantis to the Hubble Space Telescope on May 11, though the agency has said the increased space debris environment at the iconic observatory 372 miles (600 km) above Earth is one of the mission's top risks.

After a detailed analysis, the space agency found the risk of catastrophic damage from space debris around Hubble to be about a 1-in-221 chance, within acceptable limits. NASA's guidelines call for no greater than a 1-in-200 chance of serious space debris damage.

The space agency plans to position Atlantis in an orientation that provides extra protection for astronauts working outside the shuttle during the Hubble repair mission's five spacewalks. The shuttle will also fly into a safer orbit soon after completing its work at the space telescope, NASA officials said.

A second space shuttle, Endeavour, is also on a separate launch pad and poised to serve as a rescue ship if needed, should Atlantis be critically damaged by space debris.
