RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

BORROWED WISDOM

 I'm to understand that there are about 9,000 satellites in operation around our planet at this time.  That's a hellofalot.  Not only that, there are trillions of pieces of old satellites and spacecraft floating around in orbit.  That's a real hellofalot!  Those pieces eventually all fall back to Earth.  No wonder Chicken Little was concerned. 

If you think that's the end of the story, you ain't heard nothin' yet.  'Those who should know these things' are pretty sure we'll have about 50,000 satellites in Earth-orbit by 2030.  Yikes! That's just seven years away.  Of course, it's probably a lifetime for me but for you, that could be a hellofabig problem.  

There could be so much shitinthesky, that it blocks the sunlight and causes global cooling to take over?  You thought global warming was bad - when this hits, people will be freakin' out.  Forget the air conditioner - put in another fire place.  Even good looking people won't be wearin' bikinis or speedos any more.  Food will be scarce.  Polar bears will show up on Martha's Vineyard.  I just can't go on any longer.
