#1 Cavemen with technology again. Somebody's got to give these guys a little advice before they screw everything up. Maybe my six year old son could help.

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a cascading effect with this debris and everything gets messed up. I suppose we'd have to wait years before it falls out of orbit.

#2 Depending on the trajectories of the various pieces of debris after impact, it could be upwards of centuries before all of the debris is sucked down the gravity well. And all that crap floating around is posing a clear and present danger to everyone else's launches, satellites, and space exploration shots. Until the US Air Force Space Command gets every little piece mapped out and the debris field defined, a very large launch window has been closed for everyone on Earth.

#3 What about a story I heard of the Bush administration backing some exploratory plan to place large fields of reflective metallic objects in orbit to reduce global warming? Sounds like lunacy to me..

An appeasement tactic to placate the global warming zealots?
