This is just a partial amount of all the space debris that's up circling over it. There's much, much more than what I'm listing here, but what I have listed here is of a specific size. And I got the data from last week, just to make a comparison here for you. Space debris, this is just the junk that's left up in space. satellites, satellites that have broken up, rocket bodies, things like that. Globally today, 32,263 objects were tracked. 1945, 1945 are going overhead, my location here, pretty late this afternoon. Now, the comparison for objects tracked globally from last week, the net wasn't on last week, we weren't able to get in. But for last week, 32,139, you can see there's a difference there from this week, 32,263. And if you're following those numbers from week to week, you'll see they're gradually going up more and more. So there's more and more junk being recorded up in space. Some of it's new launches. Others just debris that's still up there creating more debris. where objects smash into objects and cause more objects. Just dropping.
