Stuff in Space
 

Eye-candy (interactive map), and a dam cool one too:

Stuff in Space is a realtime 3D map of objects in Earth orbit. The map is made by James Yoder, an incoming Electrical and Computer Engineering freshman at the University of Texas, Austin. Red dots are satellites, blue dots rocket boedies and gray dots are debris.

Scroll over an object and it gives the orbit trace.

That is an awesome piece of work! :rock:

Good grief!

Nice to know we leave so much garbage where ever we go.

Doubt I'll ever perform a space walk after seeing all that!! :o

That is really cool. Humans like to mark their territory. :yep:

...with garbage or burnt soil.

That too. Also good movies, kind thoughts and scientific achievements. Always looking on the upside. :salute:

How about - let's look on both sides - and try to shine the upside while encouraging all to fight the downside?

Oh - your upside could be my downside?

So let's grant everyone to look at things - and decide for themselves what's up and down?

Yea that is a good idea. On the other hand I think that everyone knows about the down side. In this particular case most of that space junk has been used to enhance our present life style in one way or another. There is not much I can do about that.

I'm guessing that it probably is. :O:

Be my guest.:03:

Yes, it might end up looking like this: LINK

(if you want to vomit on your keyboard, watch in VR).

Someone need to hire a cleanup crew!!:doh: What a load of junk!!:yep:

Looks awful cluttered up there!!

Global warming. Galactic warming. We got it.

That's easy cool.

Hey Doodlly... can you translate this, please?

(I know it's not in Space... I'm guessing Finland)

There's a difference? :O:

Turkish. Or at least, Google translate thinks it is:

This is without trying to add all the accents to the letters - I'm not sure if the translation would be any better with them though.

Here's a more accurate translation:
