I can't believe that we have this much clutter and tat in space - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/feb/13/space-junk-orbits-earth (http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/feb/13/space-junk-orbits-earth)
There are roughly 18,000 pieces of man made debris at least 10cm (4in) in size orbiting Earth. Nasa believes there are more than 200,000 objects between 1cm and 10cm and tens of millions smaller than that. The debris orbits the Earth at up to 25,000mph. Orbital debris is considered the biggest threat to a space shuttle
What a complete and utter total mess......
Forget all the notions of space as the final frontier - and replace it with the reality that it is just one big scrapyard noooo:
-
I am sure Mort can advise, but surely there is a lot more non-manmade stuff in orbit, rocks and bits of planet etc?
Not to mention old Martian fridges and sofas.
-
Indeed...
Where do you think it all goes when the dust cart disappears down the end of the road...?
-
So I can start jettisoning my old fridge into space instead of paying the Council £20 to remove - fantastic lol:

No, that is what the £20 is for... they load it on a big catapult like.... whistle:
-
But I want to do it ...that sounds like fun (stamping foot in a tantrum like way).
As long as I don't end up like one of those saddos who builds their own rocket, go on the local news with promises of a fantastic blast off, and end up watching a complete U turn and nosedive into the ground. With said saddo then promising to come back next year noooo:

I suppose as long as the rocket makes it as far as next door's garden as a minimum then the problem is no longer yours....

Frankly small beer compared to the amount of general tat and rubbish that circulates around Wenchy and Mrs S#2 AND that is before we start accounting for the miscellany rugs and non working TV sets in the vicinity of the Nicks

If you look carefully you can see all the lost luggage from the Terminal % grand opening
