Space Waste
Burned-out satellites are dangerous. So are the rockets that took them into space. Parts of these rockets stay in space. Many still hold Rocket fuel. That can explode, splintering the rocket into small pieces. That just makes more space junk. The US and the former Soviet Union tested wepons by shooting at old satellites. One of China's missles shattered a weather satellite. More than 2,800 pieces of new trash were created-the single worst case of space littering.
