"Known as 'space junk', the detritus consists of derelict spacecraft and dead satellites floating around the earth's orbit."
It has taken humans only 5 decades to fill the outer orbits of space with man-made rubbish
And the saddest part is the androcentric nature of how space (amongst other distant entities) affects us, in how it is "harmful to astronauts". Maybe we should be considering our environment as an entity in itself
I wish it looked as though Antoine de Saint-Exupery had depicted it in Le Petit Prince.. so unaffected
