The thing about space junk is that it's reaching the "tipping point": there is now enough space junk that collisions are inevitable, and each collision smashes junk into more pieces which means there will be more collisions... from this time onwards there will be an ever-accelerating runaway chain reaction of collisions, making "space" near Earth very crowded and therefore very dangerous. Houston, we have a problem.
