Space Junk Has Reached 'Critical Density'

[ComradeP]

Yeah but a blanket of small objects is still very dangerous... something the size of an apple travelling at 28,000 kph will ruin yer day....

True, the main thing that I find odd about the reporting is that it creates the image of the earth's orbit literally being full of objects, instead of there being numerous small objects that can damage an object during its trip to space.
