Space Ecology

Space Debris? ASAT Tests? Weapons & War in Space? Fifty years after Sputnik launched the space age, humans are turning space into yet another junk yard, with millions of pieces of man-made debris orbiting the Earth, putting targets both in space and on the ground at risk. One year after China blew up its own satellite on orbit, the US shot down a defunct satellite in space. The world is coming to grips with the urgent need to establish international 'rules of the road' for space debris regulation and mitigation in order to prevent an environmental catastrophe in space or on Earth. What the planet needs now, before it is too late, is an environmental movement in space: Space Ecology.
