The Rising Dangers of Space Junk: A Growing Mess Up There | SLICE SCIENCE | FULL DOCUMENTARY

- Today, the problem of rubbish in space has become a nightmare for astronauts. The amount of debris in space has been steadily increasing for the past 20 years as more and more satellites have been placed in orbit and numerous missiles have been tested. In 2009, two working satellites collided sending tons of new space trash into orbit travelling at an incredible speed.
This kind of event creates a vicious circle as each time debris collides, more and more waste is produced. All those involved in the conquest of space are now forced to monitor the clouds of waste constantly and to divert their working satellites in case of emergency. But many satellites have been “forgotten” and will inevitably cause collisions. Currently, all efforts to minimize or avoid this debris are inadequate and may have heavy consequences on our satellites and other activities on Earth. It’s high time we cleaned up our space mess!
Throughout the world, engineers have been coming up with more and more inventive schemes to clear the space trash and put their inventions to the test: magnetic nets in Japan, disintegrating lasers in Australia, garbage collecting satellites in Switzerland, waste hunting vessels in Europe and gas atomizing rockets in the USA. Star wars will not happen… but the war on waste has been declared.

Humanity's greatest achievement, the first species to create its own asteroid belt...
Lololololo!!!! Too funny, but oh so true.
The Great Garbage Belt
NOT REALLY ,SPACE DOESN'T EXIST
I'll have what you're on but make it a double. @@michaelhowsare5508 😉
All lies 100%
No matter where we go or travel we have to dump a bunch of garbage everywhere
Meaning? We are animals no human. better yet: Humanoids, no human. We are something it shouldn't exist.
I remember in 89, that my science teacher began talking about environmental disasters rising in regards to our types of pollution.
After we covered Earth, he began talking about the trash we are creating in space. He stated that by the time we reach 2020, we will potentially have so much space trash from satalites and rockets, that they will begin blocking our view of the stars. Space junk will replace stars.
He went much further about this problem, to include satalite collisions, and how it can take only 1 rogue satalite to set off a chain of distruction, sending us back a hundred years.
I remember knowing that i will be in my 40's when this will take place. Even though we haven't reached that point yet, knowing what we know now, then adding Star-Link, we are swiftly coming to that point.
We have pooed all over Earth, and thats our own doing; but knowing that we are doing it in space too just makes me nauseous!
Being a small town kid in a place that doesn't have much light pollution.
I've watched the night sky since the 1970's
It's become a very busy place up there
since the 1970s I’ve watched our small town beneath the night sky & it’s become progressively quieter to a point where there’s constant air traffic for Bournemouth Airport 10 miles away & nothing on the roads bar the occasional boy racer .
Did you look up in the sky with your eyes closed?
Absolutely nothing is happening.
Go look.
No doubt
@@mysticnomad3577so, when you look up at night you don't notice anything in space, better get some glasses.

@@SLICE_Scienceis this Jeremy Irons narrating???
Scotty, more power to the Deflector Shields. there’s a bunch of Garbage out here!

R u joking or not?

@@Michael9-23-15 whos mr rotary? i havent heard that joke
@@jeffo4817 I haven't met him. The Rotary Clubs are well known for doing community service and cleaning up the Freeways ect.
If there’s one thing we humans excel at, it’s making a mess and not cleaning it up.
Given the quantity up there, and the probable value of those materials now, you’d think someone would have developed a recovery operation. Who owns the parts in space? Is it international waters and those salvage rules apply?
Not for top secret stuff.
All these starlink sattellites make me very worried!
About 365 Starlink sattelites have already been deorbited. SpaceX has been proactive about not adding to space junk.
No more privacy
Wherever we go we are dirtbags.They can figure everything out so they should invent a way to clean this junk up.
Once when I was little I stuck a Lego-man in my nose. My parents always told me this was an incredibly stupid thing to do.
I think I'm going to follow China and Russias example, and henceforth call this a "display of strength".
And don't forget all trash left at mount everest. Everyone who has climbed there should be fined a couple of 100000 dollars for cleaning.
They already pay but its not removed not their problem
See....the dirty rich people that don't know how to clean up after themself and expect others to do it. Sometimes I wonder if they wipe their own ass!
Trash on Mt Everest is bad but will not change anything. Stupid people but that’s all. trash floating out from the rivers are worst than Mt. Everest. Trash in the Space is bad, really bad.
Only people that's going to see it are the people that climb up there. So who cares?
And not to mention all the bodies.
The best thing about us humans is that we are temporary. Unfortunately our trash is forever...
How about placing a charge on space junk left by countries to be paid up until they remove it all. Like 100M per month with interest .
Then ban them from launching anything if they default.
And the customers you and me pay more for everything? I personally am not wealthy so make people even poorer!
I second the vote!
We need Mr Beast and Mark Rober to team up and figure out how to clean space
WALL-E was prophetic.

@@SLICE_Sciencewhich country are you guys based in?
Agree
I'm waiting for a cascade collision event on a large scale...
And while the sky above us is on fire from debris coming in...
All the newest advanced tech we have that rely on what's above,go dark, and who knows when it'll be back.
This would be awesome for a post-apocalyptic movie or series!
This maybe true... all those Internet 1's of Musk And those others.
Plus, there is no telling where or how much debris that could destroy a city and kill people is up there. Leave the junk alone.
Everyone talks about mining asteroids. 70,000 tonnes at how many thousand dollars per kg/pound to get it up there? Let alone the cost of these special materials. Worth collecting
Yes, and worth keeping up there in a " To be recycled" orbit.
Thanks for the documentary video.

I admire the French administrators for using the phrase "conjunction of objects" to describe a COLLISION. lol.
no officer, I didn't broadside that truck. However, there was a conjunction of objects in the vicinity.
For the objects that can be tracked a mid altitude orbital laser platform or platforms of a few kilowatts in power could be used to move debris. Picosecond bursts like that which removes tattoos could be used to shoot a bit of debris, oblate a bit of the surface which acts like a little thruster to push it into the atmosphere. There'd need to be cooperation between all the space agencies with the understanding that it would not be used on any active space.based infrastructure. The politics would be the major challenge, the laser, targeting, and power are relatively easy
Regarding Spheres in Space🌍 and Comets: The on screen CGI showing spherical ball🌝🌍⚽objects (w/no specular highlights!) floating in "Space" is pure nonsense. Our Sun and Moon are local ionizing gas plasma luminaries, travelling within the Tropics. Earth is a fixed level Plane of existence made of fossilized, mineralized biology of mainly ancient mega titanic Dragons🐉some thousands of miles long, turned to limestone and granite🗻mountains. The term is nucleophilic substitution, flesh to stone. The 38 Transition Metals (Periodic Table) we use today literally came from these Titans veins, and arteries. The mega titanic fish 🐟🐠🐡give us most of the (SiO2) Silicon Dioxide, and (Si) Silica Dessert sands, exactly like the Sahara (titan fish) desert ! You still here ? 💫 lol. Space "rocks" e.g. Asteroids, Meteors (meat🥩) and of course Comets, are the tough fossil remains of these titans (mostly dragons🐉🐲). The Void of space and level Earth was called the "Raqia" in ancient Hebrew (Latin-Firmament), and "the Expanse" is so massive we get Hyperbolic, and Interstellar (now) Comets. Due to Magnetic Force, when these massive transition metal (conductive) laden space fossils get near the Earth's EMF, the Anode is discharging electrons into the "Comet" nucleus and taking protons from it. The Comet is now a hot cathode from a cold state (far away) and Sublimation-Phase Transition (from solid to gaseous state) is causing it to discharge carbonaceous dust and microbes etc. by the hundreds of Tons an hour as a Type2 Comet, e.g. science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/19apr_isonids above Earth. The 3600 yrs. ago Thera Eruption marked last cycle of energetic Comets, and it was called the "Shar" in ancient Sumerian, the "Completion of the Circuit". The electrical Shar is likely an intentionally induced 👽Cosmic Cycle, which adds raw material etc. (Proton Density, Radial Velocity) to the outer magnetic field of the Toroidal Vortex EMF above the level Earth, as it weakens over time. The "Solar Wind" is actually the measured strength of the EMF Torus (AKA magneto/heliopause) without it, the harmful ionizing UVC radiation from the Void above would make life on Earth impossible. The last Passover 3600 years ago (Thera/Minoan eruption) was obviously much, much worse. I figured this out, at far less than NASA $26 Billion a Year budget. 😎 I want a raise, dammit. lol 💲
If you were somehow stationary and the ISS went past you, your eyes wouldn't be able to detect it. Now try to target a few thousand bolts, each doing 20,000 MPH.
@@TheDwightMamba you do understand that this system won't have someone sitting in it, aiming the laser like Marvin the Martian. I was thinking more along the lines of using these new fangled devices called computers. The various space agencies could load this platforms "computer" with radar identified targets, providing orbital details of the debris. We could give the "computer" radar, lidar, optical target acquisition capabilities along with some form of object recognition to tell debris from not debris. And if you're not aware computers are very much faster than humans are and while orbital speeds are stupid fast, a lasers beam moves at the speed of light. Light speed is far stupider in terms of speed in fact its the stupidest.
Oh and here you go dumb ass, back in the 80s a human pilot flying an F15 demonstrated that the US could kill a satellite by flying way up high and launching a missile that flew the rest of the way and blew up that satellite which was moving at orbital speed. Think before you talk, comment, or whatever. Do a little homework, and maybe ask yourself "is this going to make me sound like a fucking moron?" How lazy do you have to be to have what you commented pop up in your head and then with libraries of info literally at your fingertips, just decide Nah I smart good, and I'm gonna put this guy in his place. End of the day none of this shit matters, I'm not a billionaire so I can't build this thing, but now I'm aware of one more half-wit running around out there so thanks for that.
@user-sc3ts6lf8r it'll be cleaned up or it won't
But we'll all be radioactive dust by then so no worries
Dream on dude. The government doesnt have time for that, to spend millions on cleaning our space. Look at earth,did they clean it? They just do what is profitable for themselves.

Whoever sends stuff up and makes the garbage as to pay to get rid of it makes sense.😊
Everything that's happening is man made 😮
Yep, Earth was a paradise before humans arrived. Now we have plastic and radiation in every level of the food chain.
Cancer is at an all time high. Do we stop? No, now we're blanketing the planet with electromagnetic radiation (EMR). As if cellphone towers and WIFI routers wasn't enough, now we're launching tens of thousands of satellites to further bombard the planet with EMR.
Low doses of EMR MIGHT be harmless to the human body but this constant bombardment of ever increasing intensity CANNOT be healthy to living things.
Wherever humans go, a mess is sure to follow. Humanity's lasting legacy - litter.
in the future the will be a job called Orbitcleaner
I would be the Ultimate Trash Man!
So kool
Yes there will be a space trash collection ship eventually,they will have to clean up that orbital zone.
And ground based space-junk shelters for the re-entry debris raining down on us
Sign me up ASAP🙋. They better offer the highest tier of health, vision, dental, accidental, death, car, pet, and maternity insurance plans, paid vacations to Floston Paradise(IYKYK)😉 and a 6 figure sign on bonus. Is that asking for too much🤷? Technically we're cleaning your careless mess.
Mankind the insightless destructive destroyer !
Earth's ring is like a wedding ring....cheaper to keep it then to trash it
What doesn't make sense is that these pieces don't fall back to earth after being slowed down by the collisions. There can't be any added velocity, only less. It must be that high-earth collisions result in long term debris whereas low-earth collisions do result in re-entry of debris.
I witnessed Sputnik going by high in the sky, when i was 5
Me too!

And that you were the proud owner of a real poncho, not a sears one.

Pretty sure it was the double bluff trick. Humans are smart, but nothing to true intelligence.
Just don't have access to the computing power. We could though.
And it seems we won't.
Be good. The end soon comes for us. We have all failed, and have been tricked.
You keep deleting my post, what for?
Third time now.
So much for free speech.
I actually do not wonder anymore if frank actually tricked the devil, for I already know. It is impossible.
The faustian bargain is a trap, even on the other side.
What about putting giant magnets in orbit to collect a portion of the junk?
Hardly any of the material pushed into space is the heavy metal iron or of steel-
Hahaha😂 good one. 👍
Mankind trashes everything, including our galaxy with garbage 😱😢😢
THIS WAS AWESOME!!!!! 👏👏👏
I have one of the star gazer apps and the junk up in space is unreal….the app shows what everything is and when it was shot in space its unreal!
Imagine a alien species comes to visit earth and the first thing they see is space junk followed by all our other junk. They'd think we were crazy.
The space is bigger the what we junk up there. Why so worry about it😊
The solution of bringing 1 piece down seems to send more satellites that potentially produce thousands of other pieces.
It's a good point don't want to create a positive feedback loop. That makes it worst! Good thing is there is a lot of space in the space around earth. This is just a total wild guess without doing any real calculation but they're is in that space about 20 or more Earth's surface sized spaces.
So, if you lived on a planet that was 20 times bigger than Earth and you were looking for a million pieces of debris, most of them small, some of them is small as a half inch. How long do you think it would take before you find even one piece? A while, it is a lot of space we use around earth for sattlites.
Good summary, seems a little reluctant to mention US space junk, like the copper needle cloud, but better than nothing, Given that a tiny flake of paint can cause as much damage as a rifle bullet this is something people do need to worry about. To stand at the window, look up at the stars and say 'Sorry son, non of that will ever be yours because we got greedy' is a sad prospect. It will also be inconvenient if we spot a thousand ton rock hurtling toward us that we cannot then do anything about.
Only western think that they are morally can do space debris, other will be arrogant.

Excellent doco. In the near future we’re going to need and want space pilots are we not? In the 70’s & 80’s the U.S. & the U.S.S.R. had the mini shuttle crafts that they were testing.
Make a fleet of four crafts that doc onto the international space station and pilots can train on how to fly in space while they collect all the junk before the chimese do it first.
It is essential to present this problem from a statistical POV.
How many satellites haven't disintegrated since 1957?
How many are stray?
"Many times they don't fully disintegrate" is not data.
There are currently 7.000 active satellites in orbit. There were 750 25 years ago. Say 1.000 have fallen stranded, plus 3.000 pieces forming debree from crasing among themselves. That'd add 11.000 objects floating out there.
Earth's surface area is 500M sq km. Imagine 11 thousand people trying to meet while traveling @ 14k mph. What are the chances? How about on an area of 9 BN sq km? That's the area in which comm satellites orbit. What are the real chances?
Great video
Not discrediting how bad the Kepler Syndrome truly is, but the one thing that's not being pointed out is that when two objects collide in orbit, they both are already moving at orbital velocities. What this means is that although there will be a slew of free floating debris circling the earth, it will be moving at that same orbital velocity +/- the offset due to collision transference of kinetic energy. So, yes...that debris is certainly not good...but objects entering orbit will also need to accelerate to those same velocities to begin stable orbital paths. If a piece of debris were to strike the ISS, unless it is moving in a counter orbital vector, it could cause damage from a bolt hitting the fuselage or solar panels at a hundred or so mph...but definitely not at 17,500 mph. Just wanted to call that out.
They should launch giant magnets that can collect some of the Debris and Centralize it
most of that material is non ferrous
Meanwhile all these companies doing these have you worried about "global warming", ESG and DEI.
Couldn't some country start putting very large magnets into orbit that would eventually collect bits until it got heavy enough to crash and hopefully it all disintegrate?
That's a badass idea
We need a “space landfill” where seagulls flock to
The Sun wants Earth to de-orbit from its solar system for littering.
If it costs BILLIONS of dollars to send construction materials up into orbit, to build huge habitats like the International Space Station, why doesn’t the United Nations coordinate ALL of our world’s space agencies, an across the board project of all nations, to consolidate their resources and technology, to create an ‘Ultra-Bot’ satellite that can collect the space junk, and use concentrated solar heat mirroring devices, to melt the space junk down to recast it as building structures, so that we can use that to create an even larger space habitat than the ISS, with stuff we ALREADY sent up there, so we don’t have to spend the billions of dollars to send up the materials needed for that project?
Its is utterly bizarre how long it took for worldwide space agencies to realize the potential harm 😢or even care about debri. It's too late as it multiplies as said, 1 in 20 chance by 2038 33:51 that a satellite gets hit & multiplies even more!
Our wonderful authorities and agencies always fail to think of the consequences of their actions - until it's too late.... Industrial revolution, weapons development, pesticides, herbicides, deforestation, dumping rubbish in the ocean, overfishing, overhunting, industrialised agriculture, mass consumerism, and the list goes on.
disintegrate in the atmosphere but what does that do to the atmosphere ?
Mankind craps everything up.
Just imagine all of the junk we will be leaving on Mars and other planets.

This planet has become trash and the space around it should match it as a warning to other life.
Rich people are very messy in general. Where Whereever they enhabit or colonised was clean before then dirty when their way of living takes over. 🤔
Greed and the relentless pursued for power, countries of the world, will eventually destroy it.
Don't worry. I have an invention that will gather all the trash to make a base station .
Oh and thats what we call human ingenuity. One day soon, some one will make it a thriving business of clearing all of it for really good business
Sadly, we tend to create problems only to sell the solution.
Doubtful. I had always thought that while the space shuttles were in use that they should have been used to retrieve any larger pieces within their limited range and brought back.
On the contrary, this proves that private enterprise can not solve the problems that it creates. They all know the problem and the dangers not only to their future business but also to society at large. But none of them will implement even the smallest part of a solution until their competitors do. It's a classic catch 22. The solution must be enforced from outside the market by governments. That's how it works. For all you Libertarians out there.
@@patrickmanley9876let me explain quickly, the answer is gravity and weight. The space shuttle requires it become lighter to unload its payload and spend it on board fuel. Then they re-enter and glide in and land on very long runways that were set up around the world to receive space shuttle. If you put into the space shuttle and come back in you will be overweight! Very similar to an airplane that has to dump fuel to reduce its weight before I can safely make an emergency landing.
maybe the Ocean Gyres should be cleaned up first....
15:17 WOW!.....there's sound in space! Who knew!
Scarey just wondering that by trying to get all this junk back into the atmosphere to burn up what's it doing to our atmosphere???
It’s probably not doing anything but eventually it might
it is b.u.r.n.i.n.g. up prior to actually getting in our breathable air
If true, surprised the garbage hasn't crashed and exploded and caused significant damage.
Heres an idea. Giant Space Laser. Put into very high orbit a sattelite which is meant to last a long time and is serviceable. It might have a very large solar reflector which channels solar radiation into a hyper focused beam, one which is capable of hitting debris hundreds of miles away. If it were not capable of turning the side of debris into a plasma then a higher frequency laser might have to be used from the satellites power plant. But i would like to think the plasma created would act as a brake on the debris lowering its orbit, though it could probably just turn everything into a bigger mess, breaking things up into smaller pieces from thermal stress.
ask the jews, they know about space lasers
Thank you Ron raygun.
What's wrong with this statement from the video:
20:10 "A rocket has one chamber with liquid oxygen and another with liquid nitrogen and I'm sure you remember from school that when these two gases mix it becomes nitrous oxide and it explodes."
Really? In my chemistry class, we used nitrous oxide as an oxidizer or as laughing gas. They better stop using it in whipped cream containers! With some catalysts, it can heat and expand for propulsion in space.
How to clean up everything in orbit sounds impossible!
We are literally trapping ourselves on earth....
No, we have a lot of that space around us. But that said I do worry that we are making our night sky's boring to look at. I feel strongly that space agency will be paying companies like Starlink to move out of the way which pushes cost up and making Elon or whomever owns said systems wealthier. But trapped in, no it is not a problem and I will point out we don't travel anywhere in outer space very much. As we do more and more in the future say the moon, it could get more expensive to ask a system owner to get out of the pathways needed for a trip. It is like this do ships in the oceans worry about the billions of tons of floating debris. Well yes, but it isn't stopping boats. Of course light plastics don't smash though ships hulls, they can clog intake pumps and debris like fishing nets do get tangled in propeller blades doing damage and rise shipping costs. Now in the deep future if we are booting back and forth constantly from say Mars and the moon we will have also solved this problem. So no it is not really ever going to trap us in any more then ocean pollution traps ships in harbours today.
Make sure you put truck nuts on that thing. Lol
I'm totally free, I'll go space scrubbin!
If there is ever time in the future when cleaning space junk is an actual job. I would love to apply.

I love to clean so why not space. Sign me up. #readytowork
More than half of the videos posted, supposedly showing paranormal activity from the moon is really catching space junk of varying distances, sizes and orbits around the Earth.
So, the take away on this is we will be hearing news flashes that start with "several hundred people were killed or seriously injured when a space debris field of titanium fragments.........

In the 1980s we used to buy old satellites that didn't make it into space and Salvage the connections and all the precious metals that were in them, there was a fortune in just wiring, it was old military contracted stuff that just was laying around for ages, I always wondered how we were getting this stuff.
There is currently no international regulatory framework for debris mitigation. Sad.
I'd sooner be in space than in the screwed up world Down here 👍
Yep...I painted this situation! White balls of ice fire that melt the crust when they hit! ❤❤
Well done. Well illustrated. Low ego factor.
Just wait when Starship try to refuel in orbit... That will make a lot of debris.
Why can’t they use powerful magnets to pull the space debris into one massive ball of metal and incenerate it
Thank you that was good.
sad just like kids never clean up after themselves after a launch.
What your talking about is something a NASA scientist theorized, published it in the 1970's. It's called Kessler syndrome, where the lower orbits of space around earth become so choked up with junk that hasn't de-orbited, it presents a hazard to orbiting sattelites and spacecraft.
There was a piece on Kessler near the beginning. Thumbs up to you! Most people have no clue about Kessler! (Including me until today!)
4:05 There were not 17 manned Apollo missions launched. Some didn't launch at all, others were not manned and there wasn't even an Apollo 2 or 3. How could something like this be so wrong?
If space junk is a big problem, why haven't they sent up a space shuttle equipped to clean some up? I can understand not wanting to burn them up in reentry salvaging gold and other rear earths could be good even if expensive. I don't know about designing a robotic collector. But I assume they must be nonmagnetic, or the Earth's field would pull them from orbit.
