Space The Final Junkyard
Synopsis
Equinox documents how this space pollution has occurred and what can and must be done to solve the problem.
In the rush to conquer space and send communication satellites into orbit, the danger posed by the waste products of these missions has been overlooked. The reality is that the space around our planet is becoming so polluted with debris that vital satellites are being damaged and manned space flight may soon become too hazardous to undertake. With tens of thousands of pieces of junk orbiting Earth at high speeds, all capable of destroying a spacecraft or sending a satellite plummeting to the ground, there is a real possibility of the great space adventure soon being brought to a premature end. Equinox documents how this space pollution has occurred and what can and must be done to solve the problem.
