US, Russia satellites crash
MOSCOW: Showers of debris from the collision between a US satellite and a defunct Russian military satellite forced scientists yesterday into an urgent calculation of the chances of another crash in space.
Concern centres around the safety of the manned International Space Station (ISS) while a Russian expert talked of the dangers posed by a crash involving one of the Soviet-era satellites powered by nuclear reactors.
Tuesday’s crash, which Russian officials said took place at about 1700 GMT above northern Siberia, is the first collision between satellites that has been made public.

Aww, ain't that amazing? They are now concerned with everything they throw'flew' in the Earth's orbit.
Like we need these countries to come together because of just a 'bump' of satellites...

Its an Omen. It means that both countries will now begin to come together for the greater good - Honest !
A small few chances. No need to panic. It only looks that way in the pic...but they're pretty tiny in spite of plenty of them orbiting the Earth.
Eventually, each falling debris (if it's small) will die out or 'disintegrated' upon entry in the Earth's atmosphere.
I said 'debris' like asteroids and satellite 'trash', not the ones with manned spaced flights.

Saw the actual picture of many satellites are currently orbiting the earth (CNN)., wasnt able to count but dang, didnt know theyre 'too' many....
