Hey good theory on what might happen, but if you take a look at this website www.space.com... it shows some interesting photos as well as interesting information on space junk around earth, the government might try to cover up something by blaming it on space junk but at the same time the light from a missle or other device taking out a sattelite would travel to earth and be visible in the night sky, so if they took that approach there would be blatant evidence of what happened. Now if the death of an astronaut comes up out of this, there will have to be a formal investigation into his death the people won't allow a dead astronaut to be left un autopsied.....

I believe the spacejunk claim is true. I saw a map of it somewhere. I know they once used ball bearings to callibrate cameras and whatnot.
On a lighter note, I'm just waiting for them to find some scrap of junk up there that has graffiti on it stating "Bango Skank was here".
That will be enough for me to lock myself in a closet for the rest of my life.

Last week Chinese scientists wanted to divert an asteroid away from Earth. This week, they want to pull one into orbit around the Earth. What’s possible objections could anyone have to this idea? The notion stems from a phenomenon the researchers from Tsinghua University in Beijing noticed from time to time with Jupiter. Every now and then our solar systems biggest planet pulls in an object from space, which orbits the planet for a time before jetting off into interplanetary space again.
