Best to seal your windows with duct tape and wear a bike helmet whenever you walk outside.  Just in case.

As a solution, let's throw more shit up in space!

I'd love to see a map of the earth with colored dots representing all the satellites we have orbiting us.  Extra points if they're coded by nationality!

2/3 of the earth is covered in water.. Roughly, what, 1/3 of that remainder is inhabited and most of that is covered in people we officially or unofficially hate.   I'd say they're just playing the odds on not having to deal with it..

Yes, it's stupid, but why would it be surprising?

Uhm, there are a lot of satellites. Here are just the geostationary ones.

The LEO cloud basically covers the earth.

Thanks, Bhodi, for reminding me why we're doomed.  That's a lot of heavy crap waiting to fall on us.

I'd like to point out that the moon is not geostationary.

You liberals and your 'science.'  Next you're going to tell me the sun doesn't revolve around the earth and the Flintstones wasn't a documentary.

I've painted my teeth blue, but I'm still not receiving my email in my head.  What am I doing wrong?

Quote from: The NSA
The satellite, which no longer can be controlled, could contain hazardous materials, and it is unknown where on the planet it might come down, they said.
Our intelligence community defines irony.
