Leftover Litter
Space junk can make more space junk. Two years ago, two satellites collided. More than than 1,600 pieces, large and small, became space junk. There are other kinds of space trash too. Such as "screws and gloves". Even chipped paint can become space junk. So can regular trash that's tossed from space stations. About 300,000 pieces larger than a cornflake now litter in space. All this trash threatens new missions. It makes space more dangerous for explorers
