MOSCOW -- Debris from this week's satellite collision could circle Earth for up to 10,000 years, threatening many other satellites in an already-crowded area, Russia's Mission Control chief said Friday.

    I wonder if this will ultimately be the catalyst for a chain-reaction of collisions - debris disabling satellites which then crash into each other making yet more debris.

    I bet they will be looking for someone to clean it up.
    I knew all those years of playing asteroids would pay off!!!

    You aren't far off. It could get so bad up there that we might not be able to launch anything else, without it being destroyed by debris (creating more debris).

    The only way to clean it up would be 'ablative cascade'. High power lasers would be needed. ;)

    The US and China did a dozy too by using missiles to knock satellites down.

    nah, there is already some 100K peaces of traceable junk in orbit.

    This is just another drop in the bucket.

    If you've ever wonder what "twinkle, twinkle in the sky" was try here. It's a 3-D interactive satellite tracking map I found a few years ago. You can identify every satellite and position to the earth, as well as it's earth path.

    You can also get a similar thing for Google Earth

    I always preferred the Java tracker though.
