Orbital waste or the space junk is of great concern to the scientists as debris or waste at the orbital velocity can be more damaging to the functional satellites and can cause more debris after the collision thereby worsening the already deteriorated situation.
Not all space junk stays in space, with some of it renters to the earth’s atmosphere burning itself and on some occasions hitting someone on the head as in the case of Lottie Willims. Scientists has to be more careful in the manufacture of spacecrafts or otherwise it will be next to impossible to make the space exploration successful with man searching other planets to live and inhabit ate in future.
