Space Trashcan

Right now as I am typing there is space garbage floating around causing satellites & astronauts danger. Rockets, broken satellites, astronauts' gloves, and other junk is polluting space. There is a ring of space trash surrounding Earth. Sometimes, junk falls from outer space into Earth and, one time it hit someone. Once, part of a Russian rocket fell back to Earth. Scientists are thinking of fixing this problem.

One idea is to shoot lasers at litter. Except, gravity would pull it back. Another idea is that space garbage trucks would have a net, catch the garbage in the net, then dump it in Earth's atmosphere. But it will burn up before it reaches the ground. We are still finding a way to get rid of this pollution.

Even today there is more than 300,000 pieces of litter cluttering space! Some interesting facts is that astronaut, Edward White, lost his glove in space and it sped around Earth at 28 thousand kilometers per hour before burning up! Also, the 1958 Vanguard 1 satellite is still orbiting Earth as the oldest piece of space junk. I think we need to be a bit more careful.
