The waste in outer space

2nd week, march 1.The waste in outer space

There is much waste in outer space, the waste is broken pieces of the objects people launched. These broken pieces make the space dirty. Also these broken pieces are so danger. Recently, The ISS(International Space Station) was nearly bumped against a broken pieces in the space. At that time, there were three people and they escaped to a capsule. In the worst case, however, they may be dead. The broken piece was small, but the piece orbited at 8km/s, it could make a hole on the body of the ISS. Some scientists say because of satellites which each countries were launched, 'The war of satellite waste' is arising. Most of the broken pieces in the space are dumped satellites or parts of the satellites. Sometimes, own body of a space station became a huge waste. The Mir, a space station before the ISS at present, was buried at the south Pacific after using for 15 years. The first space station 'Skylab' was dumped, too.

We are making the space to a dumping place. But the way to disuse space waste is not founded yet. It is a big problem for us. How do we resolve this problem?
