Space Station & Shuttle Evade Debris

T.Hobbes writes: "There's an article at the BBC about the shuttle had to take evasive maneuvers to avoid the close (5km) transit of some rocket debris, and how the fuel consumed has cut short the shuttle's stay in orbit by one day. NASA also has an article about it." I know that minor maneuvers are common, but this one seems like a rather major move. Anyone want to bet on how long it will be before we have to establish some sort of clean-up effort in space?

    Dood, you are a moron. YEs we know whats going on. But why think about it every day? why put yourself through a depression due to some events you cant change. Furthermore, if you would like to go there, I must say as an American We (as a country) knew we would get atatcked sooner or later, you cant expect to keep bothering and pissing people off and expect them nto to retaliate, that is kidna like putting a crap laod of shuttle debris in space and expecting it not to be a problem. My priorities 1) Sleep 2) Sleep 3) HW 4) work 5) video games 6) thinking about crap i cant change. so shove it e-Honky

    This post is offtopic, OK. But the guy does have a point.
    Does anybody know how many innocent civilians the US has killed in Afghanistan? Dropping bombs from 10,000 meters, or firing cruise missiles from a few hundred miles away, is nice and safe for the attackers, but doesn't make much distinction between refugees and Taliban on the receiving end.
