However expect one of the recently announced experiments for removing space junk to receive multi billion dollar funding in the next months. Any of the companies involved listed?

I don't know how they are going to handle all the Elenin debris when it nails us. Between the crazy sun flares and all the upcoming debris, they are going to have a huge insurance rate.

Um, Holy Crap. That had to be so scary for them. Glad I'm down here. I'm not going up there untill we have stronger metals. lol

I wonder if this space debris can be associated with the asteriod that came soooo close to us on June 27, yesterday. It really is a coincident isn't it?

LOL brilliant

and was it really space junk??

and if it was, they wanna start doing some maintenance!

Major Ed Dames predicted this would happen as the first sign of things going 'belly up'. For those of you who don't know he is ex US military who helped establish remote viewing in the US military.
