For those of you who are familiar with that, I um, I um, put some numbers each week to give an idea of how many objects that are constantly being produced up in space. Basically, space junk. And each week, if you follow the numbers each week, they seem to be constantly going up. 31,901 objects are tracked globally today. Neither are a particular size. There's many, many more of these up there. And if you were to look, I don't have the numbers right here in front of me, so it will be the same. You can check in a little while, but I'm almost certain that has gone up since last week. Almost weekly we're seeing an increase in the number of objects that are up in space. They're listed as space junk. 1,844 over my area today. I always put that in there for a little bit of context. So lots of stuff going up there. And as I mentioned last week, I'll mention again too, there's a threshold of 100,000 objects once it reaches that, which I think is probably 2050. Then you start seeing a lot of collisions happening. And from those collisions, again, it's referred to as a Kepler syndrome, where more objects are produced from those collisions. So if they keep sending all these objects up, once they reach a saturation point of 100,000, then you're going to start seeing a lot of satellite failures. Just dropping for a sec. This is repeater station kilo kilo 7, November, Quebec, November. All star node 6222. And asteroids and near-Earth objects, as opposed to potentially hazardous objects. These ones here are just asteroids that are kept track of because of proximity to us and our relationship is that we orbit them where they come in between us and our orbit in the sun there. None of these I'm going to recite here in a moment are of any danger to us. In fact, they're all rather small. On the 19th, we'll have a 2022 UU15, an asteroid, 14.8 lunar distances away. So it's still a fair distance away from us. That's 14.8 times the distance the moon is away from us, 16.1 kilometers a second, 34 meters in diameter. We've got two more for the same day. Stopping.
