Space Junk is colliding with satellites causing worldwide blackouts of cell phones, ATM’s, and network programs because it is not mandatory to dispose of it. An object 1cm in diameter travelling through space can travel around 17,000 kmh.

Space Junk is colliding with satellites causing worldwide blackouts of cell phones, ATM’s, and network programs because it is not mandatory to dispose of it. An object 1cm in diameter travelling through space can travel around 17,000 kmh. What happens when they collide with space shuttles or space stations?
