Now, I include this each week because it just gives you an idea of the amount of junk that's up in space, all the technology that's been left up there. Mind you, some of it's still functionally on satellites up there, the ISS, but there's an awful lot of it that's just up there, bits and pieces of technology that's been left up there, crashed into each other, exploded, and produced all kinds of debris. 32,367 objects were tracked globally today, and I only picked the ones that are of a specific size. There's many, many more than this, but I just picked those of a specific size to give you an idea. And make a comparison. If you made a comparison from last week, 32,263 objects, and the week prior to that on the Science Net to November 15th, 32,139, so you can see each week the number of these objects to slowly increase it. And it's just adding to all that debris up there. And there's a magic number, there's a magic number. What's this debris of a certain size? It's around 100,000, they're expecting about 2050. You'll start to see collisions, many more collisions starting to happen. Kestler syndrome, all called Kestler effects were obviously crashing into each other, producing more debris. So they're expecting that saturation point by about 2050.
