Space is a mess. That according to the European Space Agency (ESA), which estimates there are 36,500 pieces of space debris orbiting the earth of greater than 10cm in size, and one million pieces between 1cm and 10cm. The number of smaller yet still dangerous objects is too staggering to contemplate.
