Skydiver hit by plane

[kmack]

This is actually a massive problem in space a growing concern among the space community. While all the large pieces of debris are usually tracked, the millions of smaller pieces of debris in orbit are undetectable and all traveling in random paths. And to remain in orbit they all move at several hundreds of thousands of miles per hour, which is enough to cause liquefacation upon impact. Space shuttles have lost heat tiles and cracked windshields, and damage has been sustained from objects as small as an errant pain fleck.
Just a little aside.

thats very true. with the pioneering of simple space flight (the X-prize) i think a major step will be harvesting the debris. it needs to be cleaned up and old satellites have expensive materials and components. whoever figures out an easy way to collect it is gonna make some moooola.

I wonder... is this fate as bad as getting his parachute pecked by a bird and cause a big hole?
